    How to turn off spellcheck on the iPhone

    "Isn't there some way to turn off spellcheck on the iPhone?"


    For those having a problem with the iPhone spellcheck screwing up their posts:

    Apple iPhone 2.2: Switch Off Automatic Spellcheck

    Finally we are now able to switch off Automatic Spellcheck on our Apple iPhone; thanks to the 2.2 update we are now able to turn off this annoying feature if we choose. Now we can send texts with words that do not sound right, without the fear that the automatic spellcheck won’t correct it at the last minute.

    Turning of this function is very simple, just go to settings, then general and keyboard. Once there you will be able to turn off auto correction. This is such a simple thing to do I know, but there have been many people who have just missed it.

    For some having Automatic Spellcheck is very important, but in an age where we send text messages with abbreviated words, the auto correction can be a bit of a nuisance. Now you will be able to speed text without the worry of the iPhone changing the word to something different.

    DISCLAIMER: I don't have an iPhone but an interwebz search brought up this solution.


    That should take care of the iPhone insisting that snus is anus!

      If you don't want to turn spellcheck off completely but only for certain words...

Once you have done this twice for a particular word, it turns off the "correction" for that word. This will stop your iPhone from turning "snus" into "anus."
      Thanks, Langdell
