ANDROID users have been informed of a handy setting that helps them remove an annoying feature.
Owners of Androids know that the devices are jam-packed with clever features.

These tools aim to better your experience while streamlining common processes.
One such feature is the enabling – and disabling – of auto-correction mode.
Auto-correction, a tool that’s available on Android Keyboard, automatically checks what you are typing and corrects it.
However, sometimes autocorrect can make messages almost unintelligible.
It can also be very annoying if you’re trying to type in your own way – for example, in all-caps, or even using your own spelling for fun.
So if you’re one of those people who gets flustered when auto-correct works a little too well, you can turn it off.
How to turn off auto-correct
To turn off auto-correction mode while texting, first, you need to go to your Android Settings.
From there, locate the “Language & Input” tab and select it.

Next, tap on the Settings icon next to the keyboard that you are using, for example, Google or Android Keyboard.
Now look for the “Auto-correction option” and tap on it.
Toggle “OFF” to turn auto-correction off.
The feature should be disabled now. And, as always, you can enable it by following the same steps as above but toggling it “ON” instead.
If you don’t want to want to disable auto-correct but still want some flexibility with how you type, you can add words to your phone’s dictionary.
To do that, tap an area where you can enter text.
Enter the word you want to add.
Tap the word underlined in red and then tap Add to Dictionary.
