Grandson has changed my autocorrect

My grandson Carlson begged me to let him use my iPad whilst I boiled beef for Sunday dinner.

I assumed (erroneously ) that he was going to play games or YouTube. He managed to get into my setting and change my autocorrect so that now every time I type the word Fortnite it changes it to Fortnite.

Although I don’t use the word Fortnite often having it change to Fortnite permanently is sending me round the bend.

Do I have to take my iPad into a shop to fix ?

Help

Has he really changed it or has he actually been playing that game and your iPad now knows??

I’d ask your search engine. I find Google really helpful and on iPad questions, there’s often a helpful you tube demo. My tech skills are legendary

In the Settings app, tap General > Keyboard > Text Replacement. Tap Edit. Tap the Remove button, then tap Delete. Tap Done

Try this.

Do you mean it changes 'fortnight' to Fortnite?
