"Don't worry, you're not going mad. If you feel the autocorrect on your iPhone has gone haywire recently inexplicably correcting words such as come to coke and winter to w Inter then you are not the only one. Judging by comments online, hundreds of internet sleuths feel the same way, with some fearing it will never be solved. Apple released its latest operating system, iOS 26, in September."
"There's a lot of different forms of autocorrect, said Jan Pedersen, a statistician who did pioneering work on autocorrect for Microsoft. It's a little hard to know what technology people are actually employing to do their prediction, because it's all underneath the surface. One of the godfathers of autocorrect has said those waiting for an answer might never know just how this new change works especially considering who is behind it. Kenneth Church, a computational linguist"
iPhone users report unexpected autocorrect changes after the September release of iOS 26, with examples including 'thumb' becoming 'thjmb' and 'come' becoming 'coke'. Viral videos and millions of views have amplified user concern and speculation. Researchers note multiple forms of autocorrect and difficulty observing underlying prediction technologies because they run beneath the surface. Historical pioneers warn that Apple keeps implementation details secret. Apple says autocorrect has been updated using modern technologies and functions as an on-device language model, and it denied that the specific viral keyboard behavior is caused by autocorrect.
