Realme: Turn Auto-correction On or Off in Gboard

When Gboard autocorrects words that were already correct, the Text correction feature is usually tuned too aggressively for how you actually type. Names, slang, abbreviations and technical terms get swapped for the wrong suggestion more often than they get fixed. Switching the setting off gives you back full control over what lands on the screen.

Turn Auto-correction On or Off auf Realme

Auto-correction is a Gboard function that rewrites words while you type, based on a dictionary and your previous typing patterns. On a Realme phone running Realme UI it is enabled by default, which speeds up typing for most people but causes problems for names, dialect words, code snippets or foreign-language terms.

You control this behavior in the Gboard settings, not in the general Realme system settings. Follow this path:

Tap on SettingsTap on Additional settingsTap on Keyboard & input methodTap on GboardTap on Text correctionEnable or disable Auto-correction

Turning the toggle off stops Gboard from silently replacing what you typed. It still shows suggestions above the keyboard, but nothing changes unless you tap a suggestion yourself.

Turning it back on is useful if you type fast and mostly write standard words, since it removes minor typos without extra taps. If only specific words keep getting changed, adding them to your personal dictionary is often a better fix than disabling Auto-correction completely.

Frequently asked questions

Check if Show suggestion strip or a separate Predictive text option is still active in Text correction. Auto-correction and word prediction are separate settings and both can alter your typing.
