How to disable T9 on iPhone - detailed instructions

Enable or disable T9 on Android

What is an installer and why is it needed?
To manage the operation of the dictionary on equipment with this operating system, you should follow these instructions:

• Go to your phone's settings;
• Find the Keyboard section, where all versions of the set will be listed - in addition to the standard input panel, the device may often have an additional version installed from Google;
• Select the required keyboard, click on “Intelligent input”;
• A menu will open in front of you, where there will be a line to enable/disable the dictionary - use it.

At this point, the process could be considered complete, but not everything is so simple - some gadgets do not have the function of disabling input with autocorrect. How to remove it in this case? If you do not want to use T9, then you need to install an alternative input panel, which is done as follows:

• Go to the Google Play Market application;
• Enter the combination “Russian keyboard” in your native or English language in the search;
• You will see a list of programs with alternative versions of typing panels, which have simple keyboards that work without autocorrect;
• Choose an application to your liking and install it;
• Go to settings, in the “Language and keyboard” section, select the installed input panel.

Additional features of "Auto-correction"

This option provides another interesting feature - text replacement. That is, you can create sets of characters or abbreviations, when entered, the system will automatically replace them. For example, write “etc,” and the text changes to “And so on.”

In this case, you do not need to enter the full text and the system works correctly. All these replacements are entered in advance through a separate item, but only work if auto-correction is active. Let's look at a specific example of how to replace words:

1. Go to “Settings” and click on the “General” tab;
2. Scroll down the menu and find the “Keyboard” tab by clicking on it;
3. Here, find the “Text replacement” item and click on it;
4. Click on the "+" icon to add new text;
5. Now in the “Phrase” field, enter the text that will be replaced when you enter an abbreviation, for example, “Hello, how are you”;
6. In the “Abbreviation” field, enter the symbols or word that will be replaced when entered, for example “pkd”;
7. Click the "Save" tab and try typing "pkd" in any message. This phrase will be replaced with “Hello, how are you.”

This example was given so that you understand that auto-correction can be activated and still be comfortable to work with if you replace certain words with abbreviations. If the system often tries to correct what you type, simply add those words or sentences to the replacement text. In the future, you will be able to type text much faster and will not have to click on the cross every time or re-enter the word due to incorrect text correction.

How to disable T9 on iPhone using the built-in keyboard

So, to disable auto-correction of a typed message on an iPhone smartphone, you need to:

1. Enter the settings of the portable gadget.
2. Go to the “Basic” sub-item.
3. In the window that opens, find the “Keyboard” tab.
4. From the provided list of functions, turn off the toggle switch opposite the word “Auto-correction”.

However, disabling the autocorrect function does not deactivate another annoying input assistant system, namely the use of predictive text. This is a special typing feature that tries to predict what word the smartphone owner will type, using the user's communication style and other Internet sources.

To disable the use of predictive text, you must follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. On the virtual keyboard, hold down the language change icon (the globe icon).
2. A hidden menu will appear in which you need to select the “Keyboard settings...” tab.
3. Disable the "Predictive dialing" option.

However, there is another way to refuse outside interference in text input. To do this you need:

1. Go to the settings of your Apple mobile device.
2. Go to the subsection called “Basic”.
3. Select the "Keyboard" menu.
4. Turn off the Predictive Dial input option.

By choosing any of the listed methods, the user will completely get rid of auto-correction on his smartphone.

Third party keyboard

Third-party keyboards for iPhone come in two main types:

• a physical device connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth;
• virtual keyboard installed as additional software.

Depending on the type of input device, the methods for disabling the auto-correction function will differ. For a physical keyboard, which essentially only replaces the user's taps on the screen with keystrokes, deactivating autocorrect will be similar to the main input system of the iOS operating system. To do this you need:

1. Open the settings of the portable gadget.
2. Go to the “Basic” menu sub-item.
3. In the window that opens, go to the “Keyboard” tab.
4. From the provided list of functions, turn off the toggle switch opposite the word “Auto-correction”.

However, in addition to physical keyboards, the owner of an Apple smartphone can install a third-party virtual method for entering information. And you can also disable autocorrect on this software.

This function is performed in the keyboard menu from another developer. Unfortunately, the settings of such an input system are unique for each software, so it is impossible to identify a specific universal formula for deactivating autocorrect.

What other smart keyboard functions can be disabled

“Auto-correction” is a feature that checks the text you enter and automatically corrects it according to the built-in dictionary in iOS (iPadOS). It is gradually replenished with words that are not in it, but are present in your vocabulary - this process is usually called “learning”. Although this feature is often very useful, it loses all meaning if you actively use slang and other expressions that are not in the dictionary. In this case, you have two options: either endure until the dictionary is filled with all the necessary “words”, or disable this feature.

“Predictive Typing” is a similar feature that predicts which word or entire phrase you want to enter at a given time and offers suitable options. It is convenient to use if you type text very slowly. This feature can also be disabled.
