When
you're typing through, the system checks your spelling and suggests a
few words. Unless you've selected one of them, the highlighted suggested
word overwrites your word when you finish typing it followed by a
space, punctuation mark or return character. If you feel that's
annoying, you can turn off Auto-Correction.
-
Open the app Settings and select 'Language & input' under PERSONAL.
-
Tap the Quick Settings icon
next to 'Android keyboard'.
-
Select 'Auto correction' under TEXT CORRECTION.
-
Select 'Off' to turn off 'Auto-Correction'.
Note: As an alternative, whenever a word is replaced not to
your liking, you can tap the Delete key immediately after which and the
system returns the word you've typed.
