Most of us really appreciate the AutoCorrect feature built into our iOS devices. It’s a great feature, but over months of use, it can learn some bad habits, mostly from you. It learns how you use the keyboard, and adapts, sometimes auto-suggesting some pretty freaky stuff.
Fortunately, it only takes a few moments to reset the AutoCorrect Dictionary, so you can start teaching it those bad words all over again!
How To Reset the AutoCorrect Dictionary on your iOS 10 Device
1.) Enter the Settings app on your iOS device, and then tap the General menu option.
2.) In the General menu, tap the Reset option. (It’s at the very bottom of the menu.)
3.) Tap the Reset Keyboard Dictionary menu option.
4.) Enter your passcode if requested.
5.) Tap Reset Dictionary to reset the Autocorrect Dictionary to its original contents.
6.) Try once again to convince your device you don’t mean to type the word “Ducking.”
Now, go forth, and mistype no more! (Well, maybe just a little. Mistypes are so much fun to read!)
