Can't Turn Off Autocorrect?! Here's an Easy Fix for ANY Mobile Device

Had it with autocorrect on your smartphone?

I know I have!

I often send texts or comment on Facebook posts only to realize my sentence made no sense whatsoever -- thanks to autocorrect!

Sometimes my words are changed entirely!

If it's a comment or reply, I'll usually edit or delete & start again -- especially if autocorrect ended up posting something inappropriate.

Have any of these kinds of autocorrect fails happened to you?

Wow!

Luckily there's a simple fix that will make your life easier.

Today I'll show you how to tweak autocorrect to make it a bit less pesky.

There are times when you actually want to type a cuss word, but your phone by default won't let you.

Did you know there's a way on iPhone & Android devices to prevent the phones from automatically changing the words you use all the time?

5. Add the Word!
