One of the best facets of smartphone Android is the possibility they offer to be able to customize them according to your needs. However, sometimes it is difficult to know where to go when we want to change something in particular.
That is why we will now explain how to deactivate the keyboard autocorrect, a tool that, although very useful for many people, is also very annoying for many others.
In this tutorial we are using the Android Nougat version, with the Android keyboard that comes by default. However, the process is very similar (or even the same) in other versions of Android.

Another option within the text correction section is that of your personal dictionary. If you wish, you can add words to this dictionary, something that is very useful especially if the automatic correction always corrects a name that you use frequently.
When you add a new word, you can also enter a shortcut to write it quickly.
In addition, there are other types of options such as including alternations to show correction suggestions, personalized suggestions and display contact names as suggestions.
Writing sliding your finger
If you return to the section of the text correction menu, you will find the writing option by sliding your finger. Thanks to this option you can deactivate or activate the option to form words by sliding your finger without lifting it from letter to letter on the keyboard.
