iPad Keyboard IOS 10 - Autocorrect won't turn off?

I'm not sure if this is an IOS 10 issue or if it's an iPad issue. One of the first things I do when I get a new device is turn Auto-Correct off. I hate auto-correct, but it seems to not have turned itself off. I was typing a message to a friend of mine and instead of it keeping the word that I typed (Pervy) it replaced it (to Percy).

I just upgraded to IOS 10 and checked to see if auto-correct was turned off or if it turned it back on. Even with typing this message it keeps replacing words on me with words that I didn't type and aren't what they should be. It's not a spelling issue either, so I don't know what to do to get this to be fixed, but it's highly annoying.

iPad Pro, iOS 10.0.1

This "feature" has prompted me to use more profanity in the last few days than you can imagine. I too have a logitech keyboard, and didn't realize there were two keyboard sections for this. I was searching all sorts of general and app settings to stop this....
THANKS!

Hi. You may also need to turn off predictive. If you're using a hardware keyboard, there are separate settings for it. They only appear when it's connected.

I have turned off all of the settings and it's still doing it. I am using the Logi-keyboard for it, but I don't see where the settings for the keyboard are located...

Hi. I don't know what the Logi-keyboard is, but if it's a hardware keyboard, there are separate settings for it. They only appear when the keyboard is connected, under Settings > General > Keyboard > Hardware Keyboard.

Thank you! That solved it for me too! I was going crazy with all the new auto-corrects after upgrading to IOS10.

Thank you so much !!!!! This problem has plagued me. I have the wonderful Apple keyboard for my new I-Pad Pro — and that was the problem. Turning off Auto-Correct AND Predictive in Settings, and then in Hardware Keyboard also turning off Auto-Correct has FINALLY solved this very annoying problem. I write in several other languages — and until now, my every other word was being "corrected" — but you have finally solved this problem for me! 🙂
