How to completely disable the T9 on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro: all ways 2026

Why is the T9 auto replacement annoying Redmi Note 10 Pro users?

The T9 (automatic cue and word swaps) was originally designed to speed up printing, but is often a source of annoyance in practice. Owners of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro complain that the MIUI Keyboard or Gboard persistently corrects correctly written words, substitutes ridiculous options or slows down when typed, especially when using slang, technical terms or foreign words, the system simply does not recognize them and imposes the “right” counterparts.

Compounding the problem, MIUI aggressively adjusts auto-replacement by default, and the keyboard settings interface is hidden deep in the menu. Many users do not even suspect that disabling the T9 on Xiaomi does not require root rights or complex manipulations - just know where to look for the right switches. In this article, we will analyze all the current ways for standard and third-party keyboards, and also tell you how to return the settings if something goes wrong.

It's important to understand that the T9 and auto-replace are not exactly the same thing: the former is responsible for typing cues (e.g., completing a word after the first letters), and the latter is responsible for automatically correcting typos. On the Redmi Note 10 Pro, they can be disabled separately, which gives more flexibility in settings.

Method 1: Disable T9 in the standard MIUI Keyboard

If you use a built-in keyboard from Xiaomi, the algorithm of actions will be as follows, the main thing is not to confuse the settings of the keyboard with the system settings of MIUI, which are in different sections.

Instructions:

1. Open any application where you can type text (such as Messages or Notes).
2. Tap the input field to make the keyboard appear.
3. Click on the gear icon (⚙️) in the top row of the keyboard - this will cause the settings menu MIUI Keyboard.
4. Go to the Text Input section → Auto-replacement.
5. Turn off the sliders: 🔄 Automatic replacement (correction of typos) 📝 Input tips (word completion options) 🔍 Predicting the next word (T9 purely)

Ready.

⚠️ Warning: Once these parameters are turned off, the keyboard may start to slow down when you first enter after you restart the phone. This is normal behavior, the system will re-index the dictionary. After 1-2 minutes of operation, everything will return to normal.

Method 2: Setting up Gboard (Google keyboard)

Many Redmi Note 10 Pro users prefer Gboard because of its more flexible settings and sync with their Google account. Here, it also takes a couple of minutes to turn off the T9, but the menu is organized differently.

Step-by-step:

1. Run Gboard (like Google Search or Chrome).
2. Click on the tri-point icon (⋮) in the top row of the keyboard and select Settings.
3. Go to Text Input → Correction of the text.

General settings

Personalization

💡 Useful tip: Gboard has a hidden “split input” feature – if you disable Auto Replace but leave hints, the keyboard will offer options, but not insert them automatically.

Method 3: Disabling T9 for Specific Applications

Sometimes auto-replacement is needed in messengers, but it interferes with the browser or work chats. On the Redmi Note 10 Pro, you can configure exceptions for individual applications, this works in both MIUI Keyboard and Gboard.

How to do this:

1. Open the keyboard settings (as in Method 1 or 2).
2. Find the section Additional → Settings for applications (in Gboard it is Additional settings → Settings for applications).
3. Select an app from a list (such as Telegram or Chrome).
4. Turn it off for him: 🔄 Auto-replacement 📝 Hints 🔍 Prediction of text

Save the changes.

⚠️ Note: Some apps (such as WhatsApp or Viber) may ignore these settings due to their own auto-replace mechanisms. T9 globally or use a third-party keyboard like SwiftKey, where the flexibility of settings is higher.

Method 4: Reset the keyboard dictionary (if T9 "forgets" words)

Over time, the keyboard dictionary on the Redmi Note 10 Pro gets clogged with flawed fixes, and even after the T9 is turned off, the system can substitute incorrect options, in which case a complete reset of the dictionary will help.

For MIUI Keyboard:

1. Go to Settings. → Additionally. → Language and input → Current keyboard (MIUI Keyboard) → User's dictionary.
2. Click Remove All and confirm the action.
3. Return to Keyboard Settings → Additional → Reset Settings and select Reset all settings.

For Gboard:

1. Open Gboard Settings → Dictionary → Personal Words.
2. Select a language (such as Russian) and click Delete.
3. Go to Settings → Additional → Reset settings and confirm the reset.

💡 Useful tip: Once the dictionary is reset, the keyboard will "learn" again, and to speed up the process, you can manually add frequently used words to the User Dictionary (the section "Dictionary in the keyboard settings"), which is especially useful for terms, jargonisms or personal names.

Method 5: Use of alternative keyboards (SwiftKey, Fleksy)

If standard solutions don’t work, Redmi Note 10 Pro owners can install third-party keyboards with more flexible settings, such as Microsoft’s SwiftKey lets you disable the T9 selectively for different languages, and Fleksy has no default auto-replacement at all.

How to switch to another keyboard:

1. Install a keyboard from Google Play (like SwiftKey).
2. Go to Settings → Additional → Language and input → Current keyboard.
3. Activate the new keyboard and follow the instructions on the screen.
4. In the settings of the new keyboard, turn off: 🔄 Auto-replacement 📊 Prediction of words 🔍 Contextual clues

⚠️ Note: Some alternative keyboards (e.g. SwiftKey) require access to Notifications to run functions like cloud sync. If you refuse this permission, some features will not be available.

💡

Before installing a third-party keyboard, check its Google Play ranking and reviews — some apps may collect your input data for targeted advertising.

What if the T9 doesn’t shut down?

Sometimes, even after all the manipulations, the auto-replacement continues to work, and this may be due to:

• 🔄 Keyboard cache - clear it in Settings → Annexes → [Keyboard name] → Memory. → Clear the cache.
• 📱 Update MIUI — After major updates, the settings may be reset. → The phone.
• 🛠️ Application conflict – some launchers or optimizers (e.g., Security from Xiaomi) may interfere with the keyboard.

If the problem persists:

1. Try reinstalling the keyboard (for Gboard or third-party solutions).
2. Check if the mode for the visually impaired is included in Settings → Special features – it can affect text input.
3. Reset all keyboard settings to factory (the option is in the menu of any keyboard).

In the extreme case, you can take advantage of ADB-command to force auto-replacement shutdown (requires a computer and enabled debugging on the USB):

adb shell settings put secure spell_checker_enabled 0

This command disables spell checking at the system level, but does not work on all versions of MIUI.

💡

If none of these methods worked, the problem may be firmware. Check for updates in Settings → About Phone → System Update or consider switching to custom firmware (e.g. Pixel Experience).
