How many of these messaging mistakes have you made?
When smartphones were invented, we all hailed the technological advances and new possibilities that were now readily available at our fingertips.
However, what we didn't realise was that autocorrect was going to make us wish we still had a Nokia 3310!
Everyone who owns a smartphone has had an autocorrect fail of some kind in their life, but these hilarious ones are just way too relatable and we all know someone who has commited one of these messaging crimes. So how many have you been the victim of?
