Autocorrect won't stop correcting in Mail, even though it's off. Hello, in Mail I have Autocorrect switched off. It worked OK for a couple of weeks but suddenly today it's started correcting again even though it's switched off. Toggling it on and off and restarting Mail does nothing, it just keeps on correcting. I need to switch it off and keep it off, it totally messes up my productivity. Any ideas? This is on a Mac Studio running Ventura.

How to disable autocorrect correcting ones typing in push notifications window? I have properly turned off Messages "autocorrect" function on my MacBook Pro, that runs on macOS High Sierra. Everything works perfectly if I type directly in Messages window. No autocorrecting what so ever. Fantastic. However, if Messages app is not "active" and someone sends me a message, I receive a push notification. Still fantastic. Love it. But, if I decide to reply to that message there (in the tiny push notification window), it still autocorrects the he*l out of my message. Despite the fact that I have completely disabled autocorrect from the settings of my Messages app. How can I stop autocorrect doing that? How can I disable autocorrect and stop it from correcting my typing when I reply to messages using push notification window?

How does one turn off the annoying predictive words now appearing in messages on my MacBook Air? I installed the latest update on my MacBook Air, and afterwards when I try and use messages, various words (they aren't actually predictive for me!) appear constantly as I write. This is beyond annoying. Soon we won't even have to think, right? These devices will read our minds and write our messages for us, perhaps even before we know what we want (or rather before they tell us what we are supposedly wanting). Anyway, I digressed. I want to keep the spell check (!), but I just want my mind to decide what the next words are (not AI).

Turn off the various options in the Keyboard System Preferences under the "Text" tab of the Keyboard settings. The Messages app may have it own separate auto correct settings as well.
