For those that don’t want to use autocorrect, there is a way to disable autocorrect on the Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone. You can either disable autocorrect forever or just when typing words that autocorrect may not recognize. The following is a guide on how to turn off and on Autocorrect on Samsung Galaxy S5.
