As the speed at which we usually write, even while we walk, the spell checker can write certain words or phrases that we did not want to write at any time. To avoid this, you will have to disable the spell checker on WhatsApp.

The spell checker is a feature of our device, not the application itself. Therefore, we will have to disable it from the mobile settings to get rid of it in WhatsApp.

4. Once you land on the Keyboard settings, disable the toggle beside Auto-correction and Predictive Text.

The above step will deactivate the auto-corrector in WhatsApp. Now, we can go back to the messaging application and verify whether we have correctly deactivated it or not.

Turn Off Autocorrect on WhatsApp Android

If you have a device with an Android operating system, the process to disable the spell checker in WhatsApp is still quite similar.

1. Launch the Gboard app on your Android phone.

2. On the Gboard settings, select Text Correction.

3. On the Text correction screen, disable the Show Suggestion Strip, Next-word Suggestions, and Auto-Correction.

This will disable the Auto correction and predictive text on your Android phone (if you use Gboard). For any other keyboard app, acess the app settings and disable the auto correct feature.
