How to Turn Off Autocorrect on iPhone and iPad
Does autocorrect repeatedly fail while chatting on WhatsApp, text messaging, or writing notes on an iPhone or iPad? Don’t worry! You are not alone. Whatever you write, the autocorrect feature automatically checks the spelling and changes it accordingly. Many times this autocorrect feature fails to give correct spelling. Which frustrates a user while chatting. In this article, I have shared how to turn off autocorrect on iPhone or iPad.
The autocorrect feature often helps users a lot during text messaging. But there are many words that the autocorrect feature does not recognize. According to Apple, if you have iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 or later, autocorrect performs with more accuracy based on the context of your words.
