Apple says it has solved a glitch that gave iPhone users a lot of trouble this past week.

As of November 9, Apple said the issue was fixed in iOS 11.1.1. To update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the latest version of iOS, go to Settings > General > Software Update and tap Download and Install.

Apple first addressed the problem November 6 and said users could set up text replacement for the letter “i” as a temporary fix:

1. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement
2. Tap the plus sign
3. For Phrase, type an upper-case “I” and then type a lower-case “i” for Shortcut

But now that the software update has been released, the easiest thing to do is just download the patch. Problem solved!
