I’m running iOS 18.0.1. For me, the option is there in the rotor, but it does not work in the Mail app. It seems to either land me on a new line as though that is an error, will land in the middle of a word and therefore is trying to correct half a word, or it will simply act as if there are no errors when in fact there are.

Can anyone else reproduce any of this behaviour? I’m using an iPhone 13 Pro
