IOS – How to stop autocorrect from putting a space after it corrects a word

auto-completeautocorrectios

If I type something like "Helko" and press the "Hello" button that shows up on the bar above my keyboard, it will add a space, leaving me with "Hello ".

If I wanted to type "Hello." then this is frustrating, because now I have to delete the space before adding the period.

As another example, say I wanted to send my friend just the word Hello, but instead I typed Helko. Is there a single button I can press to go from Helko to Hello? (Without an intermediate Hello ?)

Is there any way to stop the autocorrect bar from adding a space after I choose to correct a word?

If the autocorrect word is highlighted, then you can also accept it by just tapping Space. If you double-tap Space, it will accept and insert the stop, same as a regular word.

After question edits: this also works if you type any punctuation, bracket, question mark etc.
