I have an IPhone 6 Plus. All software is up to date. I just noticed yesterday that everytime I try to type "I" as in "I am pretty" (hahaha) I end up with an A and a symbol behind it.

 

I haven't googled it yet. Doing so in a moment. Thought I'd put this out there to see if anyone else has had this issue.

Hahahaha

 

First article I find

 

Can't type 'i' on iPhone? Text glitch isn't only iOS 11 issue for Apple fans | syracuse.com

 

Well, this is awkward. Some Apple users can't even type "iPhone" on their new iPhone 8 or iPhone X.

 

The Verge reports the company's latest mobile operating system, iOS 11, has a bug that autocorrects the letter "I" to an "A" with a unicode [?] symbol (also known as FE0F, or "variation selector-16"). The issue, found in iPad and iPhone devices using iOS 11.1, appears to be caused by typing with the predictive keyboard function suggesting random characters like "A," "#," or "!" followed by the unicode symbol, affecting how text appears in iMessage, Twitter, Facebook and other apps.

For Phrase, type an upper-case "I". For Shortcut, type a lower-case "i."
