Fix the annoying autocorrect bug with latest iOS 11.1.1 update

Apple iOS 11.1.1

The bug fixes are coming in fast and furious fashion, as Apple has rolled out iOS 11.1.1, the sixth update to iOS 11 to date. This comes about a week and a half the first major update to the mobile OS—iOS 11.1 was released.

iOS 11.1 introduced 70 new emojis, as well as bug fixes and improvements. It also saw the return of 3D Touch multi-tasking.

iOS 11.1 wasn’t without problems of course. iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users complained of a bug with autocorrect which strangely converts the letter “i” into a jumbled character: “A[?].” The bug plagued a number of users since the beginning of November.

The update also fixes an issue where “Hey Siri” did not work.

iOS 11.1.1 includes bug fixes for your iPhone or iPad. This update:

  • Fixes an issue with keyboard auto-correct

  • Fixes an issue where Hey Siri stops working

Apple has apparently fixed the autocorrect issue, amongst other things, in the iOS 11.2 beta.

The 54MB update is available now. Just head over to Settings ]> General > Software Update.
