Most Android Phones come with a built-in spell checker, in addition to the autocorrect feature. In case you haven’t used it, you can find below the steps to Enable Checker on Android Phone.
As it is obvious from the name, enabling the Spell Checker on an Android Phone or Tablet allows you to check spellings and this tool can be used with and without the Autocorrect feature.
The advantage of using Spell Checker is that it highlights misspelled words and allows you to correct them, unlike the auto-correct feature which automatically tries to replace the misspelled words.
As you must have already experienced, the corrections made by the Autocorrect feature on Android Phone are not always right and this can be quite annoying.
