If there's a word you type infrequently that autocorrect has learned, but tends to insert when you don't want to use it instead of a more common word ("tea" instead of "the", for example), then you can use Shortcuts to put things back in order. My iPad tells me that my system understands the letters 'omw' as On my way! When I tap omw autocorrect will automatically populate what I'm writing with the words, "On my way!" You can take a little more control of it with Shortcuts. Unfortunately you can't edit contents of the dictionary iOS uses for autocorrect, so once it learns a word, you are stuck with it. Settings>General>Keyboard>Auto-correction Toggle switch to Off. You can disable autocorrect if you like, though when you do you'll probably miss it when you do. It's a triumph of convenience over good sense! What's to be done? Why? Because in future your device will suggest that word even when you want to write something else, and occasionally insert it when you're typing in a hurry (or leave your spectacles at home). You can also add new automatic corrections on words you commonly mistype or remove words you do not want automatically corrected.Both those steps will get rid of the suggested word - but they also teach iOS the new word, that's great if you use that word a lot but isn't so hot if you don't use it that frequently. You can also add new automatic corrections on words you commonly mistype or remove words you do not want automatically corrected.


On the AutoCorrect window, you can disable features you dislike, such as the auto capitalization of first letters of sentences, and disable this feature all together.
