How to turn off auto-correct on iPhone

If you are an iPhone user, you have likely experienced the sometimes helpful but often frustrating auto-correct feature. Auto-correct on the iPhone automatically corrects or suggests corrections for misspelled words as you type. When you make a typing mistake, the auto-correct system analyzes the context and suggests what it believes to be the correct word. While it aims to enhance your typing experience by fixing potential spelling errors, it can also lead to unintended and embarrassing messages. Fortunately, Apple understands that one size doesn’t fit all, and they’ve provided users with the option to turn off auto-correct. In this guide, we will walk you through the simple steps to regain control of your text input on your iPhone.
