How do I disable autocorrect in messaging?

I would like to turn off autocorrect on my phone, especially in Messaging. I would like, however, for an incorrect word to be highlighted so I can decide if I want to change it or not.

iPhone 6s, iOS 11.0.3

Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Auto-Correction OFF. Words spelled incorrectly will still be highlighted, just like you want.
