Turn OFF Autocorrect on iPhone

While the Auto-correction feature on iPhone helps in correcting common spelling mistakes, it is also known to jump in with its own suggested words, when you accidentally mistype a word.

Autocorrect also tends to introduce its own suggested words, when you type a space, punctuation mark or tap on the return key.

When this happens, you can tap anywhere in the Auto-correction bubble to reject the suggested word and type the actual word that you want to use.

Another way to reject words suggested by Autocorrect is to tap on the Delete Key, retype the last letter and this will cause Autocorrect to disappear.

However, if you frequently overrule Autocorrect, it will assume that you prefer using these words and you will find it suggesting and replacing even more words.

The solution for this this annoyance on iPhone is to either Turn Off Autocorrect or Reset the Keyboard dictionary from time to time.

1. Disable Auto-Correction on iPhone

If the Autocorrect feature on your iPhone has become unbearable, you can simply disable this feature by going to the Keyboard Settings on your device.

Go to Settings > General > Keyboard and move the toggle next to Auto-Correction to OFF position.

2. Reset Keyboard Dictionary

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap on Reset Keyboard Dictionary.
