Spell Check

How do I disable spell check in my iPhone 8? I find it far more frustrating than helpful.

iPhone 8, iOS 12

There's two different things to consider - Auto Correction may change the word helo to hello automatically. Spell Check will underline words in red that it doesn't recognize.

You will find both options in Settings > General > Keyboards

Thank you, anypats! (Even now, the software corrected your screen name to something else I didn't intend to type!)
