There were already numerous bug reports prevailing regarding the iOS 11 update. People reported several types of bugs and now another one is added on their list.
iOS 11 came in with many bugs including a visual bug that caused the calculator to behave abnormally and a battery issue that caused the battery level to drop insanely without any reason. Apple, however, has not yet resolved the issue properly until now.
A recent bug was detected in the update which infuriated the users. When a user types in the letter ‘i’ on the iPhone, the keyboard autocorrects to ‘A’ along with a question mark symbol in brackets. For instance, if the user types in ‘iPhone’ the phone will autocorrect it to ‘A[?]Phone’. This bug will cause numerous problems for people trying to understand the text message.

As per Mirror.co, Apple has accepted its mistake and informed that the bug is though only for the iOS 11 update. The company is working to resolve the issue. Until then, the user can rectify the error by going to ‘Settings’, tap ‘General’, then ‘Keyboard’ and then ‘Text Replacement’. Tap ‘+’, under ‘Phrase’ tab, the user would have to type an upper-case ‘I’, and for shortcut, type a lower-case ‘i’.
Following these steps will fix the problem for the time being. However, Apple claims that the bug fix will be a part of the next update that will be available for few days, informed Tech Juice.
Exasperated users took to social media to show their frustration.
