Disable UITextField Auto Correction

Question

When I try to edit texts in the iPhone application ( UITextfield ), it automatically corrects my data.

Could you tell me how can I disable this?

Answer 1

 UITextField* f = [[UITextField alloc] init]; f.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo; 

Answer 2

Quick version

I landed here to find the Swift version:

 myInput.autocorrectionType = .No

Swift 3.0

 textField.autocorrectionType = .no 

Answer 3

To achieve this, you can use the UITextInputTraits protocol:

 myInput.autoCorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo; 

See here for more details.

Answer 4

The Builder interface also has a drop-down box to disable this. Since you are most likely to create text fields in the interface builder, find it there. You can find it in the Attributes Inspector next to Correction.

Answer 5

you can also set this in the storyboard by selecting "attribute inspectors" and in the "Correction" section you can choose: "Default", "Yes" and "No",
