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

If you have had one too many embarrassing moments with autocorrect, then turning off the feature can save you some humiliation. The feature is meant to help by spell-checking your texts, but it often fails and swaps words to completely alter the meaning of a message.

The latest Galaxy S flagships — the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge — may have some autocorrect issues. According to Android Authority, the stock Samsung keyboard has been reported by users to have some defects like swapping a word to something unrelated or ending sentences with the wrong punctuation.

Fortunately, autocorrect is an optional feature on smartphones and users can manually turn it off if downloading the most recent software update does not solve the problem. Alternatively, users can also download third-party keyboards.
