Turning on English Spelling Corrections when ur Iphone is set to a different language

Hello fellow Apple users,


I have my iPhone set to Dutch (I am Dutch), and the spelling correction suggestions for Dutch work just fine. I want to also have spelling corrections for English though. I’ve turned English on in my settings but there seems to be no option to turn English correction suggestions on. I’ve tried everything that the internet suggests but can’t seem to find a solution. My English is alright but I still sometimes spell some words wrong or don’t know the correct spelling so I’d like my iPhone to suggest the correct spelling like it does for me in Dutch. If someone knows how to help me out with this, then I would be very grateful!


(A few years ago Apple Support had a live chat I could ask questions to when absolutely neccesary but they removed this?)

iPhone 13, iOS 18

To have English autocorrect, switch to an English keyboard. You can add that in settings / general / keyboard / keyboards / add new keyboard


You can also try a bilingual keyboard
