How To Turn off Autocorrect on the iPhone 6S

When it is working correctly, the autocorrect feature within the iPhone is incredibly great. It can help you from misspelling common words and can help you send legible text messages and iMessages in a much quicker time than if autocorrect wasn’t around. It has been around for years and the software is constantly advancing and moving forward to be able to become even better. However, the feature and software isn’t without its issues from time to time.

The problem is, the autocorrect function often has a number of mishaps such as the constant misspelling of correct words, or corrects words you don’t want it to. While this is okay from time to time and wouldn’t be anything more than a minor disturbance, many people have it happen daily and it can be incredibly annoying to deal with over and over. Especially for those writing in different languages, the autocorrect feature can be all over the place and can often be more of a hindrance than a help.

However, you don’t need to keep dealing with it if you don’t want to.  You can add specific shortcuts into your device, which are essentially words that you don’t want to be autocorrected. However, trying to manually add each and every word that autocorrect often messes up would take hours and you are bound to forget a few. Thankfully, there is always the option of disabling the feature altogether. it is very easy to disable and will only take you a few clicks. In fact, within a minute, you should be able to have the feature completely disabled from your device. So without any further ado, let’s take a look at the steps involved with turning off the autocorrect feature on your iPhone 6S.

How to Turn off Auto Correct on the iPhone 6S

Step 1: Tap on the Settings app and then navigate down to the General button.

Step 2: Once you have clicked on General, scroll down to near the bottom and tap on Keyboard.

Step 3: Near the middle, you will find the Auto-Correction slider that can be turned off and on with a single click.

Step 4: Now you should be able to text people and not have auto correct do anything at all.

Once you have completed these steps, your iPhone 6S should no longer correct words for you as you type. It may take a while to get used to this fact, but soon enough you will get the hang of it. It will be nice that the phone won’t accidentally spell things wrong, but it also won’t have your back if you misspell a certain word. As a result, you’ll have to get better at checking your texts before you send them, or else you run the risk of them being incoherent. Of course, if you begin to want the feature back, you can easily follow the same steps and switch the toggle back into the “on” position. This can be done as many times as you want and won’t affect the success or capabilities of the feature.
