Can I shut off auto-correct when typing text messages

When I am typing a text message, my phone auto corrects.  Is there a way to shut this feature off?

You can turn it off but it will be off for all uses on the phone, not just text messages. The on/off control is in Settings > General > Keyboard

    Right click on a word  in an editable area.
    Then choose  Spelling and Grammar.
    Click "Correct Spelling Automatically" to remove the tick mark if it is on to disable the feature.

  • I can't turn off auto correct on iPad

    When I type an emai, the auto correct above the keyboard keeps suggesting words. I have gone into Settings-General and turned off Auto-Correction (and everything else too). But when I type an email or go into Safari on my iPad, it keeps suggesting words that makes no sense and makes it very inefficient for me. Does anyone know why even after turning auto correction off, it still is enabled?
    Thanks

    Since I updated my iPad to iOS 5 - spell check works erratically and sporadically as well so I have issues with the way this whole thing works.
    Have you tried resetting the Keyboard Dictionary? Settings>General>Reset>Reset Keyboard Dictionary. It is a totally different setting that really shouldn't impact auto correct all - its merely a suggestion borne out of the "Throw enough crap against the wall and hope that something will stick" mentality.
    If nothing else works, another standard procedure would be to restore your iPad. If you can restore from a backup that predates this issue, that should work for you.

  • How can I turn off auto-correct in my iPad?

    Is there a way to turn off auto-correct in my iPad? It makes unwanted changes, and distracts me from my writing. I was able to turn off auto-correct in Safari on my Macs, and that has made things much better.

    Good stuff, King Peguin. Now life is good.
    Thanks,

  • Can't turn off auto correct

    Im having trouble with turning my auto correct off.
    I just updated to yosemite, and i can't turn off the auto correct.
    I've gone into settings > keyboard > Text > and un ticked the auto correct box, but it will not stop auto correcting.
    Ive had this problem with my previous version of OS X as well.
    anyone got any suggestions? i do a lot of typing with abbreviations, and its changing things all the time.

  • Auto correct when typing

    When typing in iPhone, does the phone recognise certain words after a while? For example, it seems to have stopped trying to correct me when I spell through as thru. 

    Yes, that's how it works.

  • Can't stop the auto-correcting when i type

    When im using IM Plus and i write words in other language than english, it always corrects what i say. I know that when the word pops up i can put X but still its annoying to put it all the time... I dont know how to make it stop because it gets so annoying please reply to me if you know what to do..
    Thanks

    Sorry for moderators . Deci daca dai X de multe ori, are el dictionaru lui ... si iti inregistreaza cuvintele ... e ft enervant ... da mail la ilipton5001a at yahoo dot com. <Edited by Moderator>
    I just told the guy, that the iPod has a built-in feature, that makes it learn languages.

  • My iphone is locked by a pop up that says enter voicemail password, I can't turn off my phone, answer calls, text messages, or even unlock my phone! I cannot cancel out of it. I never set a voice mail password in the first place anyway.

    How can I get back into my phone if I cannot turn it off or unlock it?

    Hold the lock and home buttons untill you see the apple logo. This is called a hard reset and is the equivilant of pulling the battery out and putting it back in.
    Also if you have never set a voicemail pin the phone is asking you to set one.

    Make sure that you haven't saved Uppercase and Lowercase versions of that name and password.

  • Whenever I try to upload photos into iPhoto, they load but when importing it just stops a picyure or two into it and then just sits there. I can't stop the import so I have to shut off my camera when it is importing and start again. Help?

    Whenever I try to upload photos into iPhoto, they load but when importing it just stops a picture or two into it and then just sits there. I can't stop the import so I have to shut off my camera when it is importing and start again. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    As a test  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Tru importing from your camera to it and to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • How can I turn off auto-capitalization for Mail in Mountain Lion?

    How can I keep mail.app from capitalizing the first letter of sentences?  I have turned off auto-correct both at the system level and in Mail, and yet I cannot seem to keep Mail from capitalizing the first letter?

    Thanks - this helped me track it down - some Textexpander setting apparently got switched when I updated.

  • Turn off auto-correction in 2.0?

    Is there a way to turn off auto-correction in firmware 2.0? I live in a non-English speaking country and most of my typing is in non-English. It's really annoying when my iPod tries to correct every other word that I type.

    No, not yet, maybe with the next firmware?

  • Cannot turn-off Auto Correction and leave Check Spelling On

    For some reason, when you turn off Auto correction- (keyboard settings) it also turns off check spelling.
    Hope thesre is a fix for this.

    I wish I knew the answer to that and many other questions. We are all just other iPad users like you trying to help each other sort through any problems that may arise. Frankly, I would love to be able to turn off auto correct and keep spell check on just like you. The only recourse we have right now is to offer our feedback to Apple about it and you can do that by clicking on this...
