These might be slightly testing times for iPhone users. A recent update seems to have thrown a wrench into the overall typing experience. Several users have reported a malfunctioning autocorrect feature after upgrading to iOS 17.4. Even with autocorrect enabled in settings, the functionality appears to be haywire, leaving users to battle their typos solo.
This issue is seemingly affecting only older iPhone models
While the exact cause remains under investigation, initial reports suggest this issue primarily plagues older iPhone models. The specific models and total number of affected devices haven’t been pinpointed yet.
IT Home cited reliable tech source MacRumors, stating that Apple is already on the case. The company is prepping the release of iOS/iPadOS 17.4.1 update within the next few days. This update, sporting version number 21E235, promises to be the savior of the autocorrect issues, and will restore smooth, error-free typing.
In the meantime, if you’re one of the unfortunate users experiencing this autocorrect glitch, there are a few workarounds you can try. One option is to restart your iPhone – a simple fix that can often resolve minor software hiccups. Additionally, you can try toggling the autocorrect setting on and off again in your keyboard settings. While these might not be permanent solutions, they could offer temporary relief until the official update arrives.
