To turn off autocorrect on most devices, the general process involves going to the device's settings, then to keyboard settings, and toggling off the "Auto- Correction" option.
Turning Off Autocorrect on iPhone
- Open the Settings app on the iPhone.
- Tap General.
- Select Keyboard.
- Find the Auto-Correction option and toggle it off (the switch will turn from green to white) to disable autocorrect.
Turning Off Autocorrect on Android
- Open Settings.
- Tap System (or search for keyboard settings).
- Select Keyboard or On-screen keyboard.
- Choose the keyboard app in use (e.g., Gboard).
- Tap Text correction.
- Turn off the Auto-correction toggle.
This disables the autocorrect feature, preventing automatic spelling corrections during typing. The process is straightforward on both platforms and helps avoid unintended word changes while typing.
