from what I've read, they've changed something with the apostrophe (I mean, why in the heck would they do that?) and this newly added functionality can be disabled in the iPhone settings -

Try turning off "Smart Punctuation" (introduced in iOS 11) in Settings > General > Keyboard and see if that changes anything.

Can you guys test this for me and let me know if it makes a difference?

Thanks

Didn't I already explain what I'm gonna do?

HEY IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---

Why they would do something like that in their OS is beyond comprehension

How in the heck did you figure out that was the cause of the problem?

---

and came across where there was discussion about text message truncation, when if you had the setting enabled and added an apostrophe to your text message, it would shorten it from 160 characters max to 70.

Apparently Apple did something to the apostrophe so when the setting is turned on, they've tagged additional logic to the character, making it non-standard.

Why they would do something like that? Who in the heck knows.....

Well now that you know what's causing the problem and how to resolve it, please be sure to pin a post explaining to folks so they can make the adjustment.

Thanks for digging into this one!

and I'll remove all of the replies with the testing results and then lock it.

I really appreciate your help here.

It didn't wipe out my words!

now can we please fix the 'limit length' on the 'post titles'? incoming <duck>

trust me, if I could have fixed it easily, I would have.

I will do my best to revisit it this week assuming I get some free time over the upcoming holiday weekend.

I want a two character limit, lmao!

I just typed a long response on my phone and it is gone.

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

Did you turn off the Smart Punctuation in your phone Settings first?

---

It is ok I am an idiot &#128556;

I hate wasting my time with typing a post only to find it locked

Where is the fun in that?
