If you're frustrated with Microsoft SwiftKey's auto-correct features, there's good news: you can easily disable them. This guide provides a straightforward way to turn off SwiftKey’s auto-correct and predictive text features, as well as how to remove it from your keyboard options completely.

## Accessing SwiftKey Settings

To adjust SwiftKey settings, you'll first need to access the app on your smartphone.

### For Android Users:

1. Open the **Settings** app on your device.
2. Scroll down and select **System**.
3. Tap on **Languages & input**.

## Disabling Auto-Correct and Predictive Text

Once you are in the SwiftKey settings, you can easily disable the auto-correct and predictive text features.

1. In the SwiftKey settings, look for **Typing** or **Typing & autocorrect**.
2. Tap on **Auto-correct** and switch it to **Off**.
3. Next, find **Predictive text** and toggle it to **Off** as well.

After completing these steps, SwiftKey will no longer automatically correct your typing or suggest words.
