If you searched how to turn on autocorrect in WhatsApp on Android, open the keyboard, not WhatsApp’s settings. WhatsApp is the box you type in. It does not have an autocorrect row on Android.
On most phones the keyboard is Gboard. While it is open, tap the gear, then look for Text correction, Auto-correction, or Spell check. The same place is often Settings → System → Languages → On-screen keyboard → Gboard. Android renames that path. If you do not see the row, this keyboard does not offer it, or a different keyboard is the one actually typing. We cannot flip the switch from here.
We are not WhatsApp Support. An APK that promises “autocorrect for WhatsApp on Android” is not WhatsApp.
Android still won’t correct the word?
The switch is the Android keyboard, usually Gboard, not a WhatsApp menu. Paste a draft into Shmooz if you want the sentence rewritten. We cannot flip the keyboard.
This is not the other keyboard pages
- Android, and the query says Android — stay here.
- Samsung / Galaxy — the menu is Samsung Keyboard, not this Gboard path. See autocorrect in WhatsApp on Samsung. That page stays the Samsung search.
- iPhone — Settings → General → Keyboard → Autocorrection. See autocorrect in WhatsApp on iPhone.
- The suggestion bar — predictive text stays predictive text on WhatsApp. That title stays. Turning the bar off is turn off predictive text.
- Spell check, without the word Android — the broader page keeps its title: WhatsApp spell checker. We are not retitling it.
- WhatsApp Web — the browser, not Gboard. See spell check on WhatsApp Web.
- One name the keyboard keeps changing — add it to the keyboard dictionary. That is the same keyboard. We are not rebuilding the dictionary page.
- A whole sentence — WhatsApp grammar check. Autocorrect fixes letters.
If the word is right and the sentence is wrong
Autocorrect does not rewrite a message. Paste the draft into a separate chat if you want a cleaner line. Shmooz is an AI assistant inside WhatsApp. You send the message yourself. That does not install a spell checker into WhatsApp.

FAQ
Can you turn Android autocorrect on for me?
No. The control is on that phone, in the keyboard that is actually selected.
Why does it work in other apps and not in WhatsApp?
Usually corrections are off for that keyboard, or WhatsApp is using a different keyboard than the one you just changed. There is no second autocorrect switch inside the chat.
Are you WhatsApp?
No. We do not publish a support number, and we do not unlock a keyboard setting.
