Can I disable this texting "helper"?

[Nathanael Gray]

Auto-correct and other shortcuts may have their place, but I am finding that in my phone's texting app, with Android Oreo running on a Moto G6, the "suggestions" for replying to a text are annoying, and I would like to simply turn them off. I don't see how. Is there a way?

can't you go into your text message settings and turn off auto correct?

Is there a 'Languages & Input' option in your Settings menu? Things like enabling/disabling auto-correct are often a part of whatever keyboard you're using.

Sounds like Android Messages and the "Reply" feature.

What texting app are you using?

I'm using the native texting app in the G6. I don't want to turn off the basic autocorrect because, unlike the one in MS Word, it is actually helpful. I will try the suggestions above and see if any of them help.

Edit: I found the relevant toggle under Settings, Advanced. So I'm good. No more suggestions. All fixed.

Thanks for letting us know how you fixed it! It may help someone who comes along and has the same problem.

I'm glad you're good to go now!
