Formal Request to Apple

On August 6, 2026, a formal enhancement request was submitted to Apple through Feedback Assistant (Reference #FB24198269).

Title: "Correctly spelled medical term 'hidradenitis suppurativa' is flagged as misspelled by iOS"

Area: Keyboard — Autocorrection
Type: Suggestion
Apps affected: Notes, Messages, Pages, Mail
Language: English (US)

Feedback Assistant provides a report history and allows Apple to track and respond to submissions. This submission establishes an official, timestamped record of the request.

Future expansion to other digital platforms

After addressing Apple’s spelling system, Spell HS Right plans to evaluate how hidradenitis suppurativa is recognized across additional digital platforms and advocate for correction where similar language gaps are identified.
