That Doggone Autocorrect!

 Autocorrect can be either helpful or a nuisance or both!  Do you have a name or word that your mobile device constantly changes from being correctly spelled to being mispelled or even an entirely different word? If so, today's tip might help reduce your frustration.

On an iPhone/iPad, go to:

1. Settings
2. General
3. Keyboard
4. Text Replacement
5. Touch the + sign in the upper right-hand corner and in the "Phrase" section enter a word that commonly gets switched or autocorrected in your messages, email or apps
6. Touch Save

Disclaimer: This method is not perfect but should reduce some of your frustrations with Autocorrect.  Just remember to go through this process any time you notice a word that you type frequently being autocorrected incorrectly!

On an Android device (I do not own an Android device, but here is the article for reference)

1. Type the word that you want to save to the Android dictionary
2. Long press or double tap the word you want to be added
3. Tap on “Add to dictionary”

Happy Tech Tip Tuesday!
