autocorrect
Phone's text editor
Autocorrect is software that automatically fixes typing errors or suggests corrections as you type.
It catches misspellings and typos but sometimes "corrects" words you meant to type, producing unintended—often embarrassing—substitutions: Autocorrect changed "coming" to "cumming" in my text to grandma.
The term also works as a verb: My phone autocorrected it.
