My iPhone SE is driving me nuts. It is constantly making stupid words suggestions and trying to alter words. It's even splitting words so they make no sense!

I have switched off predictive everything. There isn't an auto complete.

there may be a setting hidden away somewhere that I haven't altered? I haven't enabled any assistive technology so it can't be that.

This seems to have altered after the last update. Anyone know how to fix it, please?

Thanks.

Giving this a bump

It thinks online is "on line" and "along" is "a long"! Not sure what it thinks the end of that sentence might be!

Mine has done this!! It’s sending me nuts and I want the old way back. Hoping someone can come along and help us!

is it because the model is no longer fully supported any apple as it’s an old phone?

Everything else is fine. However, another update is saying it will be installed tonight so I wonder if that will help.

Push the update now and see if it helps, if not. Reset your keyboard.

Thank you. I ran the update and nothing's changed. I'm puzzled by "keyboard reset" because it's telling me to get my new phone ready. So it looks like it's actually going to delete things?

I'm old enough to remember when iPhone was simple and sensible 😂

Oh my God,
I was trying to type "needing" and it wanted to split it off into "need inf". It must be predictive something that's going wrong here. But I've switched it off everywhere I can see it.
