About this guide

The Samsung Keyboard does not have a setting called autocorrect. The feature that swaps your word for its own guess is called Auto replace.

Good to know

Using Gboard instead? Its setting is called Auto-correction, under Gboard settings, Text correction.

In short: Settings, General management, Samsung Keyboard settings, Auto replace off.
