Tired of the words you type being correcting by your LG Stylo 4 smartphone? You can change this behavior by either adding words to the dictionary, or turning autocorrect off entirely using these steps.
Add Words to Dictionary
When “Spelling correction” is enabled on the Stylo 4, words are automatically changed to the word the device thinks you want to use when you press the space bar. If this happens and you don’t want the word to be auto-corrected again, you can tap the word before you press the space bar. The word will then be added to the dictionary, and will no longer be corrected.
Disable Spelling Correction
- Open “Settings” > “Language & input” >”Spelling correction“.
- Toggle the “Spelling correction” setting to “Off“.

No. It did not help. I followed the instructions. The autocorrect setting is set to off. And it’s still autocorrect. How do I unfuck this situation?
Margaret Mori says
It is far worse than my former LG stylus. I can barely type a sentence since it insists on gobbledygook. I turned it “off” & that did no good. I hate it.
Susan says
NO did not get rid of it. I hate that feature.
I do not need something telling me what I am trying to say and learned to spell in my infancy.
Bianca says
It worked !! Thanks.
Gabriella L Garlock says
IT STILL AUTO-CORRECTS after you’ve turned off the spelling correct. And I do swear this spelling correct is more aggressive even than LG G3.
I can’t find any other place in the menu where I can address this problem, and I sure can’t see why a simple “on/off” option fails completely to work.
Dee says
On your keyboard find the microphone hold it til the settings pop up hit settings then auto correction then off
Dawn says
No, this did not help.
I turned off the spelling correction weeks ago, and it is still off, and it is still doing it.
For example, it changed “lookie” to Loomis.
I tried backing up and correcting it, but it kept changing it.
It was infuriating.
