AutoCorrect – either you love it or hate it. I had an acquaintance email me the other day to ask me if I knew how to turn off this feature. “It’s driving me absolutely crazy!” he said. “It takes me forever to write texts or emails because I spend all my time correcting AutoCorrect.”
If you find AutoCorrect to be more of a curse than a blessing, you’ll be happy to learn that you can easily turn it off, both on iOS and on your Mac. If you don’t want to turn off Auto-Correct globally on your Mac, you can switch it off in individual applications from the Edit menu.
