Chapter 3 Basics 26
Depending on the app and language you’re using, iPhone may correct misspellings and
anticipate what you’re typing. Accept a suggestion by entering a space or punctuation, or
by tapping return. To reject a suggestion, tap the “x.” If you reject the same suggestion a few
times, iPhone stops suggesting it. If you see a word underlined in red, tap it to see suggested
corrections. If the word you want doesn’t appear, type the correction.
