You can turn off autocorrect on your Galaxy S10 by disabling predictive text and auto replace.
- It's easy to turn off autocorrect on the Samsung Galaxy S10 if you don't find the function useful.
- You'll have two different options to turn off autocorrect - you can disable predictive text entirely, in which case your phone will stop making suggestions, or you can just turn off auto replace, so you can still manually choose suggested word alternatives.
- You can find the autocorrect settings on your Galaxy S10 in Settings under keyboard controls.

Autocorrect might initially seem like a miracle - your keyboard corrects typos as you type. It's especially handy on your phone, since the keys are so small and you're often forced to type with your thumbs.
But autocorrect can also be notoriously wrong. If you find that autocorrect is more of a liability than an asset, you can easily disable it on your Galaxy S10.
