Disable UITextField Predictive Text

With the release of iOS 8 I would like to disable the predictive text section of the keyboard when I begin typing in a UITextField. Not sure how this is done, any help would be appreciated!

Solution

  • Setting the autoCorrectionType to UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo did the trick

    Objective-C

    textField.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeYes;
textField.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;

    Swift 2

    textField.autocorrectionType = .Yes
textField.autocorrectionType = .No

    Swift 3

    textField.autocorrectionType = .yes
textField.autocorrectionType = .no

    SwiftUI

    textField.disableAutocorrection(true)
textField.disableAutocorrection(false)
