How To Turn Off Text Auto Correction On Android by gidimasters(m): 7:23am On Apr 04, 2016
Though having your text/words autocompleted by your android device is somehow great and useful but some correction can be quite irritating sometimes even when you don't feel like changing some words but it has already changed itself.


This post is written just to help in removing the autocorrect option
of your phone but not to initiate a "bad mouth" about the autocorrect option of your phone.


Here's what you have to do Turn Off Autocorrect on your Android Device:
1. Launch your Android's device settings menu.
2. Go to the "Language & input" Menu but in case your settings tab is divided into section and you can't find Language & Input, it's mostly found in the "Personal" section of your settings tab.
3. From the keyboards & input methods menu, Select "Google keyboard".
4. Tap the "Text correction" option and turn off the "Auto-correction"
toggle case.
5. You have successfully turned off autocorrection on your android device.


Note: when you've successfully turned this feature off, your phone will no longer correct typographical errors again which means you must always cross checked your typings and make the correction yourself.
