Autocorrect can't be turned off?

L.S.,


For some reason my iPad keeps auto-correcting me, at least in my e-mails and Evernote, even when I turn off both Auto Correct and Check Spelling. Still those infuriating boxes with blue letters show up underneath what I'm writing, and it then it replaces my text. I'm a writer, and this renders the iPad almost useless for me.


Can this be fixed?

iPad Pro, iOS 10.0.2

Yes.


Those "infuriating boxes with blue text", (which, by the way, I happen to appreciate) are known as "Predictive Text".


Settings > General > Keyboard > Predictive = "Off"
