To quickly fix the issue, users can go into the Settings app -> General -> and then Keyboard. From there, select Text Replacement and then select the plus sign and put the capital “I” to be replaced with the small “i”. In doing so, the capital “I” which is experiencing the issue will automatically be turned into a small “I” which is not having any issues.
