Steps to reproduce the behavior
  1. Start a new Post
  2. Add a Heading block
  3. Write "I am tesing this" (note that "testing" is misspelled)
  4. Observe that "testing" is autocorrected and has a line under it
  5. Tap "testing" and observe the option to tap the original
  6. Choose "tesing"
Notes

This behavior doesn't occur in Paragraph blocks.

Tested on iPhone 12, iOS 17.2.1, Jetpack iOS 24.0
