My auto correct won't correct "thr" to "the" can't figure out how to fix

[Wesli]

I have tried everything to get my phone to autocorrect "thr" to "the".

Can't figure it out.

It was comical when I searched for a solution how many "thr" typos I found in thr comunity. Anyone figured this out?

Look at the screenshot collage I've attached ... I typed "thr" ... notice the cursor is still attached on the end of 'r'.

The next key I tapped was the spacebar.

Notice the keyboard did the proper autocorrect. (lower collage).

And NO, I did not tap the "the" word in the 'spelling suggestion bar'.


I say this works correctly for me because we use GBoard ...

When we first tried GBoard, we found it superior to and more flexible than the Sammy keyboard.

Hold down on thr and delete it

here's what I did to fix this. I added "thr" to my text shortcuts, with "the" as the "expanded phrase"

Oh.... my... goodness. Literally genius. I would vote for you for president:)
Easy fix. Thanks so much!!

This is a fine workaround, but doesn't solve the main issue.

Worked for me too! Thank you SO MUCH! The fact that we have to do this workaround is ridiculous, but thanks to you we have a solution!

Outstanding solution with the text shortcut. The "thr" was driving me nuts too.
