Go cold turkey
Yes, you can just turn it off — no more bad guesses or awkward corrections. Just type what you mean letter by letter, like in the early days.
Note: Depending on your Android make, model and OS, steps may differ. There are just too many variations to cover all of them.
Start here on your iPhone
Bonus tip: In iOS, misspellings are underlined. To turn that off, head to Settings > General > Keyboard again and turn off Check Spelling.
CAN YOU SPOT ELECTION DEEPFAKES? HERE’S HOW NOT TO BE DUPED
Using an Android?
Bonus tip: Under your keyboard settings, flip the switches next to “Predictive Text” and “Show Predictions Inline.”
Add your own slang
If you’re feeling ambitious, program your phone to replace a phrase with your shorthand. Think turning “brt” into “be right there” or “1234” into “Four Score and Seven Years Ago.” Pretty slick!
Pro tip: In iOS and Android, if you leave the Shortcut field blank, autocorrect will stop bugging you with alternate spellings.
Why is autocorrect capitalizing random words?
You may notice that autocorrect capitalizes random words in a sentence. If you are typing something like, “I need to call Mom and ask when She needs to go to the Store,” you’ll have to go back and make a change to all the words that shouldn’t be capitalized.
If you don’t know why autocorrect keeps capitalizing Mom and Store, take a peek at your contact list and see how you’re typing names. If you save certain words in your contact list a certain way, autocorrect assumes this is the way you always want it written.
Another simple fix for this issue is to turn off the auto-capitalization setting in your keyboard tab.

[Fox Business] Netflix password crackdown delivers millions of new customers
Netflix showed that its password-sharing crackdown continues to bear fruit, delivering its strongest first-quarter customer additions since the pandemic and further strengthening its position as the dominant global streamer.
The company added 9.33 million subscribers in the first quarter, more than five times the number of customers it added during the same period a year earlier, with its efforts to limit password sharing continuing to bear fruit. Netflix began limiting password sharing in earnest about a year ago.
Netflix has spent the last year limiting account sharing, working to expand its ad business and changing its line-up of prices and plans to better position itself for future growth. It plans to stop providing investors quarterly membership numbers and the average revenue generated per member early next year because it now has multiple pricing tiers in a variety of markets, and will add annual revenue guidance.
Netflix ended the first quarter with 269.6 million paying customers globally and said it now has an audience of more than a half billion people.

It delivered a stream of hit original TV shows early in the year, including science fiction epic “3 Body Problem,” the latest season of reality series “Love is Blind,” and TV drama “Griselda,” as well as films like “Damsel” and lighter fare including “Irish Wish”.
The streamer’s continued growth comes as competitors like Disney and Paramount push to make their streaming services profitable. While some traditional entertainment companies grapple with password-sharing crackdowns and improving their recommendation engines, Netflix is already benefiting from such product features.
“We have built a hard to replicate combination of a strong slate, superior recommendations, broad reach and intense fandom,” the company said in a letter to shareholders. Netflix said it must continue to improve the variety and quality of its programming as well as its product features and marketing.
The company’s shares have gained ground, rising about 30% year to date ahead of its earnings report. Shares fell more than 4% in after-market trading Thursday.
COULD MORE PRICE HIKES BE COMING TO NETFLIX THIS YEAR? ANALYSTS THINK SO
Netflix’s subscriber growth through March was slower than the fourth quarter of last year, when it added 13.1 million subscribers, but remained robust, topping some Wall Street analyst forecasts. It expects net customer additions during the second quarter to be lower than the first quarter due to seasonality.
The company reported first-quarter revenue of $9.37 billion, up almost 15% from $8.16 billion a year earlier and ahead of its own projections for the period. Net profit rose nearly 80% to $2.33 billion in the quarter, beating the company’s forecast of nearly $2 billion.
Netflix said it must continue to improve the variety and quality of its programming as well as its product features and marketing.
The service is able to offer subscribers an increasingly diverse slate, from comfort watches featuring familiar shows and films from the past to flashy new releases. Netflix originals continue to appeal to subscribers, while the streamer’s rivals are now willing to license more hit shows and movies like “Gossip Girl” and “Young Sheldon” from their libraries.
