iOS 11, released in September 2017, added the Smart Punctuation feature, which included turning a double hyphen into an em dash:

I figured it was something like this but was a bit too lazy to dig through iOS release notes haha

I actually really hate the smart punctuation. If I want an ellipsis, give me the option, but don’t presume it’s what I meant to type. They look awful in many fonts, too.
