How to disable autocorrect in a TextField

Paul Hudson    @twostraws   

Updated for Xcode 14.2

SwiftUI’s TextField enables autocorrect by default, which is what you’ll want in most cases. However, if you want to disable it you can do so by using the disableAutocorrection() modifier, like this:

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var name = ""

    var body: some View {
        TextField("Enter your name", text: $name)
            .disableAutocorrection(true)
    }
}

Download this as an Xcode project
