How to turn autocorrect on and off on your smartphone keyboard? We bring instructions

We probably all know it. We need to write important message while we have to check it more than three times, whether we accidentally made a grammatical error somewhere. If such an error were found in the report, we could lose credibility. It can happen, for example, in work emails, or, for example, when applying for a job.

In such situations, we want to look what the most professional and that’s why grammar is important. Even our smartphone can help us with it. In it, you use a customized keyboard, which it is in most cases Gboard from Google, but Samsung, for example, has its own Samsung keyboard.

Both of these options hide a function that is popularly called autocorrect, or automatic text editing. It automatically corrects the words it thinks you have written grammatically incorrectly. But I can say from my own experience that he does not always correct these words correctly, and it often happened to me that he did correct word corrected to incorrect.

As an example, I can mention the word “ma”. In the sentence “Popadlo ma…”, in most cases, autocorrect would correct “ma” to “má”, because it is a more used form and does not know how to distinguish between them. But let’s look at it together how you can turn it on.
