If you searched WhatsApp spell check not working, words you mistype stay mistyped. That used to be fixed as you typed. WhatsApp did not remove a spell checker from the chat.
Autocorrect lives in the keyboard. If that keyboard’s correction is off, or the chat is using a different keyboard than the one you changed, WhatsApp will look broken. We cannot reset it.
We are not WhatsApp Support.
Spell check stopped in the chat?
WhatsApp has no spell-check repair. Shmooz can rewrite a draft you paste. We cannot turn autocorrect back on.
Turning it on is a different page
- It stopped, or it never corrects — stay here.
- How to turn autocorrect on — Android, usually Gboard: autocorrect on Android. iPhone: autocorrect on iPhone. Samsung Keyboard: autocorrect on Samsung. The broad spell-check title stays: WhatsApp spell checker.
- The suggestion bar stopped — next-word suggestions, not letter correction. That is predictive text not working. Turning the bar on stays predictive text on WhatsApp.
- WhatsApp Web — the browser, not the phone keyboard. See spell check on WhatsApp Web.
- One name keeps getting replaced — the keyboard dictionary. A whole sentence is grammar check.
Why it looks like WhatsApp failed
- Autocorrection is off in the keyboard on screen. There is no WhatsApp row that overrides it.
- You changed Samsung Keyboard, and the chat is using Gboard, or the other way around.
- On iPhone, a third-party keyboard ignores Settings → General → Keyboard → Autocorrection.
- A keyboard update reset the toggle. Updating WhatsApp does not put it back.
If the letters are fine and the sentence is wrong, paste the draft into Shmooz. That does not install spell check into WhatsApp. You send the message yourself.
