Shelby Posted August 9, 2020 ID:1400031 Share Posted August 9, 2020 When typing a text, random inserting of BB, CNN, CBD, occur. They occur sporadically, not all at once and not every time. I delete them, when I catch it and continue typing my text message. How do I prevent this from happening? I read no malware App that can get rid of this type of corruption, is there another method? Thank you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Settings/General,Reset/ and click on Reset Keyboard Dictionary and that will reset Keyboard Dictionary. You will probably need to reboot your iPhone.

What happens is your iPhone remembers everything you type and stores it in the dictionary just auto correct which sometimes I accidentally put in the wrong word. What we did was set the dictionary to default settings and it will start remembering everything you type again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! That had been such a headache.... @Shelby glad to hear that cleared up the issue for you. Just keep in mind that anything you type is remembered by you iPhone. Now you can go: Quote Open the Settings app. Tap General. Tap Keyboard. Tap the switch next to Auto-Correction. You’ll know that Auto-Correction is off when the switch is gray. And if you use Siri Go to Setting Siri & Search Siri & Dictation History Delete Siri & Dictation History Just keep in mind that everything you type your iPhone will want to remember everything for you to make it easier to help you type. I'm sure there are other setting too but just letting you know only the things I do. If anyone else wants to add to want I have please feel free to. @Shelby only do the ones in quote if you need to.

Easy explanation of what that means and is connection important? Sorry for basics here. @Shelby Which VPN are you running on your iPhone? Sorry I forgot to ask if the VPN is enabled or disable? Need both of the questions above please before I can continue. Edited August 10, 2020 by Hardhead add ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardhead Posted August 10, 2020 ID:1400137 Share Posted August 10, 2020 It will look like this below if the VPN is enabled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardhead Posted August 10, 2020 ID:1400143 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) @Shelby Yes it is important to have your VPN running. If you are running Norton VPN you will need to follow these steps below and if you are running a different VPN I will need to know the name of it please. https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/v120542223 https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/v132566469 Edited August 10, 2020 by Hardhead added last link Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted August 10, 2020 Author ID:1400164 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I need to look at this tomorrow. I’ll get back to you. Thank you so much! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardhead Posted August 10, 2020 ID:1400172 Share Posted August 10, 2020 @Shelby Okie dokie no worries 😉 we can fix the VPN. You can send me a private message if you don’t want anyone to know what VPN you use. BTW, I didn’t know you were running a VPN and anytime you make a settings change like we did you need to disable the VPN so it doesn’t mess up the settings in the app. Don’t worry I have done the exact same thing without knowing better so its all good and we will get everything back up and running with the VPN you are using. 😉 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvarnell Posted August 10, 2020 ID:1400358 Share Posted August 10, 2020 There are some applications, including Malwarebytes, that use VPN API's in order to do their thing, but are not actual VPN applications and will only show as being connected when necessary. If the OP isn't using an actual VPN, such as Norton, then this isn't an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardhead Posted August 11, 2020 ID:1400409 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I run a different VPN that actually blocks malware and I made a network setting and I had to reset the VPN license. Little did I know when I first installed the VPN that it had a kill switch or you could disable it for 15 minutes 1 hour or even after reboot. That’s why I asked about the VPN that the OP was running. @Shelby if you need further assistance feel free to ask anytime. Hope all is well and be safe! 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
