Huawei: Turn Autocorrect On or Off in SwiftKey

When Huawei's keyboard swaps in the wrong word right as you hit send, the SwiftKey autocorrect feature is usually to blame. It rewrites words mid-sentence based on its suggestion bar, even when the word you typed was already correct. If this keeps producing typos or awkward phrasing in your messages, you can switch the feature off or back on in a few taps.

Enable or Disable Autocorrect auf Huawei

Autocorrect on Huawei phones runs through the SwiftKey keyboard. It compares what you type against a dictionary and swaps in the word it thinks you meant, showing the replacement in the middle of the suggestion bar just above the keys.

Most of the time this speeds up typing, but the feature reacts to speed and typing patterns, not context. Names, slang, abbreviations, or words in a second language get rewritten even though they were correct from the start.

If wrong swaps keep showing up in chats or notes, you can turn the feature off entirely, or leave it on and just watch the suggestion bar more closely before sending. To change the setting, go to Open the settingsTap on System & updatesTap on Language & inputTap on SwiftKey KeyboardTap on TypingTap on Typing & autocorrectActivate or deactivate Autocorrect.

Turning autocorrect off does not disable spell-check underlines or word suggestions, it only stops the keyboard from replacing words automatically while you type.

Frequently asked questions

No. The suggestion bar with word predictions stays active. Only the automatic replacement of words is disabled once you toggle Autocorrect off under Typing & autocorrect.
