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 1:

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)

Solution 2:

Swift 2

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

Swift 3

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

Solution 3:

The chosen answer is correct, but you also have an option to do the same in storyboard.

All you need is to select your textfield, and under "show the Attributes inspector", set Correction to NO.
