Disable autocorrect on iPhone

Posted on October 19th, 2008 in dovhcajt |

iPhone autocorrectImage by el frijole via FlickrI recently upgraded my iPhone to firmware 2.1 and was a bit disappointed because there’s no iSolitaire to kill my time with it. As a good consequence, my battery lasts longer.

However, I was annoyed by the fact, that Apple incorporated a spellcheck into the fields, that supposedly works flawlessly… if you write in english. If you don’t, however, you need to tap on every word you write in order for autocorrect not to “correct” it. Quite annoying, yes. There are a bunch of solutions flowing around the net, but I only tested it with iPhoneOS 2.1, so this is what works:

  1. you need to have a jailbroken iPhone
  2. you need to have Cydia installer
  3. install BossPrefs
  4. install CToggle BossPrefs Addon
  5. set your Keyboard to English
  6. set Auto Correct to Off in your BossPrefs

That worked for me, however I don’t know if it will work for any other version. If you don’t want/can’t jailbreak your iPhone, Apple is supposed to add the switch in iPhoneOS 2.2.
