That is cool, I didn't even know you could do that. I get my words spelled checked by just typing and getting suggestions. I am assuming you use Android, is this something you set up in the settings of the phone? I can't find it (I have a Samsung), I can only find autocorrect with spell suggestions
Yeah, I use Android. Those are Gboard specific settings (the on screen keyboard I use, it's the default keyboard for Android). You'd have to go in Additional settings --> Languages and Input, and there, you can choose your on screen keyboard and it's related settings.
And actually, it's set to underline and suggest corrections, but only if you tap the underlined word. This suits me just nice, since I use the regular latin keyboard (I just hate switching keyboards and layouts) for local communication as well, so it's easier if everything just goes underlined if I'm not typing in English, even if there are errors, most locals will understand what I'm trying to say, lol ๐.
That explains it! I use Microsofts swiftkey keyboard and I couldn't find any settings like that on it either. But maybe I should try gboard out. Sounds pretty neat! :D
