How to stop the bizarre iPhone bug that turns ‘I’ into an ‘A’ and a symbol<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

How to stop the bizarre iPhone bug that turns ‘I’ into an ‘A’ and a symbol:- Where there is software, there will always be bugs. It\u2019s simply the nature of the beast. Some bugs are a bit stranger than others though, and the new one that\u2019s annoying iPhone and iPad users around the world definitely falls on the stranger end of the spectrum. When typing the letter \u201cI\u201d followed by a space, Apple\u2019s iOS software should leave the letter on its own. I, after all, is a pretty common word in the English language. For some bizarre reason, however, the latest version of iOS has been auto-correcting \u201cI\u201d and changing it to the letter \u201cA\u201d followed by a few spaces and a symbol that shows a question mark in a box.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s an odd bug to say the least, and it has really been annoying to iPhone users ever since iOS 11.1 was released. Thankfully, we have good news to share. First, Apple has acknowledged the bug and is working on a fix. Second, there\u2019s a way to stop this weird bug from happening right now, and we\u2019ll show you how to do it.<\/span><\/p>\n

For those still unclear as to how this bug works, here\u2019s a screenshot that will show you exactly what we\u2019re talking about:<\/span><\/p>\n

So, for those affected, any sentence that begins with the letter \u201cI\u201d will be auto-corrected to instead begin with \u201cA\u201d followed by two spaces and a question mark in a box. Needless to say, no one ever intends to type an \u201cA\u201d followed by two spaces and a question mark in a box in place of the letter I, so auto-correct has clearly gone haywire.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a new support document on its website, Apple has acknowledged the issue and confirmed that a fix is in the works. With any luck, it\u2019ll be issued alongside the release of iOS 11.2, the first beta of which hit developer devices and public beta users last week. In the meantime, however, Apple offers a workaround that most people seem to be having luck with. All you need to do is configure a new text replacement shortcut. Here are the steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

That should do the trick. If not, you\u2019ll unfortunately just have to deal with the bug until Apple releases a permanent fix in an upcoming iOS update.<\/span><\/p>\n
