How to turn off the highlighting of errors on the phone Xiaomi

Xiaomi’s modern smartphones offer users a variety of tools for comfortable typing, including smart spell checkering, a feature designed to help avoid typos sometimes becomes intrusive, especially if you type slang words, technical terms, or just want to write without constant visual noise. Red and blue wavy lines under words can be annoying and distracting from the essence of correspondence.

Owners of Redmi and Poco devices often face the need to fine-tune input. MIUI or its modern version of HyperOS is based on Android, where keyboard control can be implemented through system settings or shell applications. Understanding exactly where the right switch is hiding will save you time and nerves when using the gadget every day.

In this guide, we will look at all possible ways to deactivate spelling checks. We will look at standard system tools, settings of popular keyboards and specific features available in the manufacturer’s shell. You will learn how to control cursor behavior and text correction, making your experience with your smartphone as personalized as possible.

Why do you need to check spelling on Android?

Autocorrection and error highlighting is built into the operating system for a reason: it analyzes the text you type in real time, comparing it to the vocabulary. If a word is missing from the dictionary or has obvious grammatical inconsistencies, the system signals this to the user. For many people, it is an indispensable tool to maintain high levels of literacy in business correspondence.

But algorithms aren't always perfect. They may not know specific proper names, rare drug names, or technical terms. In these cases, Android flags the correct word as a misnomer, creating visual discomfort. In addition, the system's constant attempt to "fix" you in its own way can slow down the speed of printing, causing it to be constantly distracted by pop-up prompts.

⚠️ Warning: Disabling spell checks completely can lead to more typos in important messages.Be careful when sending documents or official letters after making changes.

Some users prefer to turn off visual highlighting only, leaving auto-replace active, or vice versa. The flexibility of the Gboard and MIUI Keyboard settings allows you to choose exactly the script that is convenient for you. It is important to understand the difference between spell checking and auto-correction, since these options are often in different sections of the menu.

Disabling the check in the MIUI system keyboard

Xiaomi smartphones often come with their own MIUI Keyboard (or Facemoji in some regions), which can be different from standard Google, which confuses beginners. To remove red underline, you need to get into the deep settings menu of the input application itself.

First, open any text editor or message input box to make the keyboard appear. Press and hold a comma icon or a special menu button (often looking like four squares or a gear) to call the context menu. In the list that appears, select Settings or Settings. Next, the algorithm of actions depends on the shell version.

In the classic MIUI interface, the path can look like this:

• 📱 Go to the "Language and Input" or "Additional settings" section».
• ⚙️ Find the “Keyboard Management” option or select an active keyboard.
• 🔍 Open the settings "Spelling Check».
• ❌ Switch the slider to the "Off" position».

If you use a newer version of the interface, the settings can be hidden inside Text Technology or Advanced Settings. Look for items that say "Spell check," "Spell check," or "Emphrasing." Once you disable the function, the word crossover will disappear instantly, without the need to reboot the device.

💡

If you can’t find keyboard settings through the menu, try pressing the space or comma button on the keyboard itself – this often causes a quick menu with access to settings.

It is worth noting that in some regions, MIUI Keyboard can be replaced by Gboard by default, so follow the instructions for Google products, which we will discuss below. Always check which keyboard is active on the system before looking for its settings.

Setting up Gboard on Xiaomi smartphones

Gboard is the standard keyboard for most pure Android devices and many Xiaomi models of global versions. It has powerful tools, but also a confusing menu. To get rid of annoying wavy lines, you need to perform several sequential actions.

Open the settings menu for your Xiaomi smartphone. Find the Settings section and select Language and Enter. In the list of available keyboards, click on Gboard Settings. An alternative and faster way is to press the space or comma button on the keyboard itself and select the gear icon.

In the menu that opens, look for the Settings section, and you're interested in Spelling Check. When you click on it, you'll see the switch that you want to deactivate. You can also turn off Autocorrection if you want your phone to stop intrusively changing words to your taste.

For advanced users, you can add commonly used words to your personal dictionary so that the system stops counting them as errors without turning off the verification completely, and this is especially true for people who work with highly specialized terminology.

If standard methods don't work, you can try resetting your keyboard to factory settings, so you can find the option option on the Gboard menu and select Reset, which will return all settings to their original state, and then you can reset them to eliminate unnecessary functions.

Using third-party keyboards for full control

If Xiaomi and Google’s built-in tools seem too limited or overloaded, there is always an alternative: Third-party developers offer solutions that give the user absolute control over the look and behavior of text input.

One of the most popular alternatives is Microsoft's SwiftKey, which is famous for its powerful predictive input engine that learns from your communication style, and in SwiftKey, you can fine-tune autocorrect aggressiveness levels in detail and completely remove visual error markers.

Another great option is Simple Keyboard, which is a minimalist, open-source application that doesn't have any unnecessary features, ads, or telemetry, and is ideal for those who want to just type without prompts, emoji panels, or spell checks.

Installing a third-party keyboard requires special permissions. Android will alert you to potential security risks, as the keyboard can theoretically read all the input, but applications from major developers like Microsoft or Google are rigorously vetted and considered secure.

Addressing stress issues in specific annexes

Sometimes spell checking is disabled in the system, but in some applications, such as Telegram, Viber or Chrome, the underline remains, because some applications have their own text input settings that override the system.

In Chrome on Android, the spell check settings are in the browser's menu. Open three dots in the corner, go to Settings, then to Special Opportunities, where you'll find the Spelling Check switch, which will only remove the red lines inside the browser.

Messengers often use a standard system input widget, but they may have their own plugins. If WhatsApp or Viber emphasizes words and Notes don’t, the problem lies in the settings of a particular application or in the keyboard cache. Try clearing the keyboard app cache through the App menu → All apps → Gboard (or MIUI Keyboard) → Memory → Clear the cache.

In rare cases, a conflict may cause an installed third-party dictionary. Check the list of connected dictionaries in the language settings. If there are third-party packages there, try disabling them or removing them.

💡

Spelling check settings in browsers and messengers can work independently of Android system settings, requiring separate attention.

Also, note-taking apps like Evernote or Notion have built-in text editors with their own logic, and in such cases, you can only turn off the underline inside the app’s settings if the developer has the option.

Frequent questions and additional nuances

Users often face unusual situations during the setup process, such as when the MIUI system is updated, settings may go wrong and functions will return to factory values, which is normal behavior that requires manual adjustments to the settings again.

Another important thing is multilingual input, so if you're typing in two languages at the same time, the system can emphasize words as a mistake in the current active language, and make sure that the keyboard settings correctly define the input languages and how to switch between them.

⚠️ Note: When switching layouts, some keyboards may temporarily reset autocorrect settings. If the problem occurs periodically, try to fix the desired language to the main one.

Remember that not emphasizing errors does not mean that words are spelled correctly.Typing is entirely on your shoulders.Check important messages periodically before sending, especially if you have disabled all assistants.

For voice users, spelling settings also affect speech recognition, and more stringent settings can improve recognition accuracy by cutting off unlikely word variants, but can also ignore specific commands.
