I just wish I could make iOS turn off the stupid "." shortcut they attach to the spacebar. All my google searches look like "how.do i.find.a better.phone"?

  Not only iOS. MacOS too

  I always thought I’m too stupid to search correctly. I have exactly the same issue.

  Is Settings->General->Keyboard->"." Shortcut on?

    OMG!!!! I thought I was somehow actually pressing period for years! I didn't feel like I was but I never noticed I wasn't actually pressing it and it was instead auto inserting periods. WTF! Thanks!!!!

      IM PRAYING THIS FIXES IT. I really cannot express how annoyed I’ve been at the search bar keyboard in Safari. This has been such a huge sticking point.

        Sorry, it won't. Sure seems like it should though right?

    I have this shortcut disabled. It still rears it's ugly head on the browser location field (and many other places).

      Probably because the browser location field keyboard on Safari has a "." char on the right of the space bar. It's really annoying, I agree.

  If I’ve interpreted this correctly and this isn’t sarcasm, there is a Setting under Settings>General>Keyboard named [”.” shortcut”], that should disable this behavior.
