- Apple could improve autocorrect with iOS 27, according to new rumors
- The upgrade would be similar to the Grammarly tool
- A final decision still needs to be made regarding the functionality
Apple is going to give us our first look at iOS 27 at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, and the software could come with a supercharged autocorrect feature to help with your typing.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is considering a way to improve autocorrect by offering alternative words you might want to use. The approach is “similar to tools like Grammarly,” says Gurman.
Gurman is usually one of the most reliable tipsters when it comes to Apple rumors, but he also says that no final decision regarding the Auto-Correct update has been made. We’ll have to wait and see if this is something Apple will announce next month.

There’s also no further details on how it works: if it’s like Grammarly, it can act a bit like a thesaurus and writing assistant, helping you choose the right word every time. Of course, you can already get writing help on iOS with Apple Intelligence.
Better automatic correction
It looks like Apple is finally focusing on one of the biggest pain points for many iPhone users with this potential update and other recent tweaks. Complaints about autocorrect and its accuracy on iOS go back years.
In the latest iOS 26.4 update, we got what Apple described as “improved keyboard accuracy when typing quickly” – which should now mean fewer errors and skipping key presses for users trying to enter text at a decent pace.
This iOS 27 update, if it arrives, should improve autocorrect further – although it remains to be seen how useful the suggestions are or how much they might interrupt the flow of your typing. In the meantime, users are turning to physical keyboards instead.
However, the main focus of iOS 27 should be Siri. It’s believed that the digital assistant will get a Google Gemini-based AI upgrade as well as other new tricks, including support for third-party AI chatbots within Siri itself.
