El spelling checker of WhatsApp came to solve our lives. It allows us to be able to write, without having to worry about spelling. But it is not always so comfortable. There are times that it changes our words, to the point that our messages are totally unreadable.

How to activate or deactivate the WhatsApp spell checker

Activate the spell checker in WhatsApp

Spelling correction is not a feature of WhatsApp. It is an option that the different keyboards for Android have. Therefore, we will not have any option to activate or deactivate the corrector, from the own messaging application.

Activate Whatsapp checker

To be able to activate it (and also deactivate it) we will have to go to the General Settings of the mobile. Therefore, the first step will be:

  1. Access Android Settings.
  2. Once there, we will have to go to System
  3. Then to Language and text input.
  4. All the Android keyboards that we have installed on the mobile will appear there.
  5. We will select the one that interests us and look for the Predictive Text or Writing and AutoCorrect option, where we can see if it is activated.

When we have carried out this process, the corrector will be activated. But not only will it be available for you to use in Whatsapp. It will have been turned on for whatever app you want to write to.

Being a keyboard option, it is not possible to decide for which applications we want it to work and for which not. Therefore, if you want to have the corrector in another app, you will have to use it in WhatsApp as well.

Disable Whatsapp spell checker

If you want to disable the spell checker, the steps to follow are exactly the same as to activate it. Simply, in the final step you will see how the corrector is previously activated. By clicking on it, you can deactivate it.

But keep in mind that if you disable the corrector for WhatsApp, it will also not be available for any other application. If you still think that the corrector is very annoying, as you can see the process is quite simple.

Spell correction in other languages

If you usually write WhatsApp in other languages, you can also do it. Following the same process as in the previous step by step, once you enter the desired keyboard, you will be able to choose another input language. In this way, you will be able to use the spell checker in the language you usually use.
