A few iPhone s are reporting a new autocorrect bug that is thought to be a part of fixed in iOS 11.1.1. We weren't able to reproduce the bug over at Gadgets 360 however. 245y4d

To recall, in the case of the iOS 11.1 autocorrect bug, the Text Replacement autocorrect feature was mistakenly correcting 'i' to 'A' and a symbol. Apple had acknowledged the bug and even provided a workaround until it issued a fix. So far, Apple has not done so for the 'it' autocorrect bug, and complaints have been pouring in since September, MacRumors reports. According to some s cited by the publication, Apple's workaround doesn't work this time around. The Cupertino giant had suggested s visit Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement, and save the correct word as both the phrase and the shortcut.

The only solution appears to be completely turning off autocorrect and if required, even predictive suggestions from Settings > General > Keyboard. Rebooting the iOS device reportedly doesn't help. We've reached out to Apple to comment on the issue, and will update this article if we hear back.

As we mentioned, the iOS 11 release has not been without its share of bugs, and six bug-fixing updates have been unveiled since its launch.

iOS 11.1.2, fixed the cold weather screen responsiveness issue on the iPhone X, and a Live Photos issue.
