How To Turn OFF Predictive Text On Android

Here's how to turn off predictive text on Android.

Predictive text, also known as auto-correction or auto-suggest, is a feature that suggests words or phrases as you type on your Android device's keyboard. It predicts what you're going to type next based on context and your typing patterns, aiming to speed up your typing and reduce errors.

Predictive text, while a handy feature on Android devices, isn't everyone's cup of tea. For those who prefer to compose messages or emails without the aid of predictive text, turning it off can be a welcome change.

Whether you're looking to disable it temporarily or permanently, here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to turn off predictive text on Android.
