Hey, let’s discuss about Control Keyboard Auto correction on Supervised iOS Devices using Intune. This policy controls the keyboard auto correction feature on iOS devices. Auto correction normally changes words automatically while typing. When this policy is enabled, the device stops correcting words. Users can type exactly what they intend.
Auto correction can sometimes cause mistakes, especially with technical terms or names. This policy helps avoid unwanted word changes. It ensures accurate typing in work applications. This is useful for business and professional use.
Many organizations use iPhones and iPads for official tasks. This policy helps maintain consistency in how text is entered on all devices. It prevents different keyboard behavior across users. This improves overall productivity. It available in iOS 8.1.3 and later.
This policy also helps when devices are shared among multiple users. Each user gets the same typing experience. There is no confusion caused by automatic corrections. This makes shared device usage easier.
