How To Turn ON And OFF Autocorrect On Galaxy S7

The Autocorrect on the Samsung Galaxy S7 is a great feature to know how to use. Autocorrect was created with the goal of helping you fix typos or other spelling errors that you make when typing on your smartphone. After all, it’s a common issue when you’re typing on a touch screen keyboard with keys only a third of the size of your fingertips. But Autocorrect can sometimes be an issue, when it autocorrects something that is not actually wrong or when it seems determined to tell you what you actually mean. This issue continues with the Galaxy S7, as autocorrect can be a headache sometimes.

For those who don’t want to use Autocorrect, there is a way to disable Autocorrect on the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge smartphone. You can either disable Autocorrect forever or just when typing words that Autocorrect may not recognize. The following is a guide on how to turn Autocorrect on and off on the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge.

How to turn autocorrect on and off on Samsung Galaxy S7:

  1. Turn on the Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge.
  2. Go to a screen that shows the keyboard.
  3. Near the left space bar, select and hold the Dictation Key.
  4. Then select on the Settings option; it’s the one that looks like a gear.
  5. Below the section that says Smart Typing, select Predictive Text and disable it.
  6. Another option is to disable different settings like auto-capitalization and punctuation marks.

Later, if you decide you want to know how to turn autocorrect on using your Galaxy S7, all you need to do is go back to the keyboard and go to Settings and change the Autocorrect feature to “ON” to make things go back to normal. It’s important to note that for those that have an alternative keyboard installed through Google Play, the method to turn autocorrect on and off on the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge may be a little different, based upon how the keyboard is laid out.
