40 Times Autocorrect Failed So Hard, People Just Had To Post About It On X
Communicating with one another has never been easier than it is today. We can call, text, video chat, send messages through social media and even share our location with trusted friends and family members. But despite all of the technology we have at our fingertips, our devices still make plenty of euros– I mean, errors.
If you’ve ever quickly sent a text and relied on autocorrect to fix your mistakes, it’s very likely that the technology “ducked” up. From turning a gentle “haha” into an aggressive “HAHAHA” or completely altering the meaning of your message, autocorrect seems to have a mind of its own. Below, we’ve gathered some of the funniest autocorrect fails people have shared on X, so enjoy scrolling through, and remember to always double-check your messages before hitting “sand!”

Mine once changed “Kind bars” to “live bats” while I was shopping and now I’m pretty sure I’m on a watch list

Whenever I write "u" as in "you" my phone changed it to "I". So for example if I say "u are a jerk" it changes it to "I are a jerk".

Mine always changes 'tonight' to Toni. As if that's more likely I'm going to write that. I accepted it once now it won't stop doing it. Plus it always takes me the first four letters of my name till it finally suggests it. Why does it never learn what it's supposed to?!

Do public speaking. Was excited at the prospect of Nats (Nationals). Autocorrect: So you mean bats, right? You're excited about possibly qualifying for bats?

How do elephants feel about bats in general? We cats find it unfair when mice grow wings.

I got a new phone and was dropping a text to a guy friend of mine whose name starts from P and it autocorrected his name to princess so the message started with a “Hey Princess”. I saw the autocorrect mistake before I hit send but I found it so hilarious that I just sent him that autocorrected message with an explanation. I hope autocorrect didn’t hurt his ego calling him a princess!

Autocorrect changed "Thanks" to "Dance" - Didn't have the guts to send the pizza-order like that. Now I wonder... Maybe it would have made someone smile or actually dance. 🍕🕺

My phone will sometimes (often and random enough that it is very irritating) change "he" to "Heather" which technically I DO have an Aunt Heather but I am more likely to use a pronoun than I am going to talk about my aunt...

Looking at some of these, I worry about the mental health of the people programming auto-incorrect. (And yes, what you're seeing is what I typed intentionally.)

Mine changed a text to my older boss from" I'm so sorry" to "I'm so dirty " and the rest of that day was VERY awkward even though I instantly corrected it. It was too late....... FAR too late!!! 😂

I once texted my friend "you too" when she said Happy New Year's. Autocorrect corrected it to "You food."

Long ago when T9 was still a thing, I had a friend called Anja. Phone always changed it to 'Cola', which is the German word for Coke (the beverage). Anja, if you by chance read this: Hi Cola!

Oh the talks I could tell about the auto correct that gesture running has don't for me. Imagine if I made an entire post with it and didn't edit where it protected at all. It would probably look working like this.

Once I read a similar thread and one mistake was: I pop/poop in the shower before coming and the other wrote : Dude, please don't do this at my house, and I was crying laughing.

I've never had autocorrect change what I write into something outrageous, but then I don't like texting very much. (It was a rough social adaptation to accept that calling people is considered rude.) But I will say that my fingers autocorrect. Seriously, I don't spell words letter by letter in my conscious mind. My mind decides which words, and my fingers (or something nearer the hindbrain) do the spelling. Autocorrect happens here.
