Galaxy S6!!! Swype Autocorrect option

[JohnKSteb]

OhMyGosh I've been looking everywhere to see if people are having the same issue with the "u" and "i" autochange code-work. I have sent wayyyy too many possessive texts lately.

"U can do it" goes to "I can do it" - "U suck" goes to "I suck" - "U need to find a girlfriend" goes to "I need to find a girlfriend"

Though these may be "true" I (U*) can see the issue here for shorthand texters. Other keyboards are a solution, however, Swype's keyboard solved problems the othherrr keyboards presented. Sigh. :-\:-\:-\:''(

Oh and btw everyone posting to change it through Samsung Keyboard setting - This only fixes the issue in Samsung Keyboard (who's swipe feature is dramatically less accurate than Swipe's keyboard [also included with S6]. The issue is with a separate keyboard, kinda like how there is also the Google Keyboard (with it's own issues too)]. Download the Swype app (trial also has the feature but I'm unsure what it lacks). The swype that comes with the S6 is NOT THE WHOLE APP!

Solution = The $0.99 Swype App by Nuance Communications. [or there is a Free version that seems to just not have everything (other themes and such) - I'm using it and it's fine]

So, simple question, is there, or is there not a way to turn off auto-correct on the S6, for the Swype keyboard?

My title is as it is because, no matter how concise your search is, on here, or on google, searching ANYTHING for turning off autocorrect will give you results for every other device in the universe but the s6. Kinda frustrating.

The menu is different, the settings are different, there is no "auto-complete" in the menu...the way you do it s5 and prior does NOT apply. Turning off some other option, like the auto-predict, auto-capitolize, etc, etc...does NOT work.

So, I'm just curious if anybody has figured out a way yet? It's driving me crazy!! (and when the F(*#$K did this "i'm going to go back like 2 words and autocorrect your "u <someword>" to "i <someword>" get added??....that's the most horrible piece of code I've ever seen in an app.

thanks!

Not sure if this has been answered yet, but you can go to language and input-Swype. That takes you to a screen to purchase themes. On the top left, beside the word store, there is a menu button (three horizontal bars). In that menu list, hit settings. Go to disable auto correct. Works on s7, so I'm assuming s6 is the same.
