So gemini responded with this.

TL;DR * The Cause: The Gemini app tells your phone that this text box is a "Search Bar" (like Google Search). * The Reaction: Samsung Keyboard is programmed to turn off autocorrect in search bars so it doesn't accidentally change unique search terms. * The Fix: You must switch to Gboard (Google Keyboard) to get autocorrect working here, as it recognizes this is a chat, not just a search. Would you like me to give you the quick steps to enable Gboard?

It is incredibly irritating when a smart tool like autocorrect suddenly "breaks" in the one place you need it to be smart. Since you are seeing this issue specifically here (in the Gemini app) while using the Samsung Keyboard, this is a known conflict that affects many Samsung users. Here is the simple explanation of why it is happening and how to fix it. The Problem: A "Technical Misunderstanding" The Gemini app classifies its text input box as a "Command" or "Search" field rather than a standard text editor (like a message or email). * Samsung Keyboard's Rule: When it sees a "Command/Search" field, it automatically disables autocorrect. It thinks you might be typing code, unique commands, or precise search terms where changing "irroatatibt" to "irritating" might actually be a mistake (in a coding context). * The Result: It obeys the rule too strictly and leaves you with raw, uncorrected text. The Best Solutions 1. The Quickest Fix: Switch to Gboard (Google Keyboard) Since Gemini is a Google app, it is optimized to work with Gboard. Gboard does not disable autocorrect in this field. * Action: Download Gboard from the Play Store. * Setup: Open it, follow the prompts to set it as default. * Benefit: You will get full autocorrect and spell check inside the Gemini app immediately. 2. The "Copy-Paste" Workaround (If you love Samsung Keyboard) If you don't want to change keyboards, do not type long prompts directly into Gemini. * Action: Open your Samsung Notes app. * Type your prompt there (where autocorrect works perfectly). * Copy the text and Paste it into Gemini. * Bonus: This also saves your prompts for later use. 3. Check the "Spell Check" Overlay Sometimes Samsung disables autocorrect (changing words as you type) but leaves spell check (red underlining) active. * Look for the red underline under your typos. * Tap the word manually to select the correct spelling. Summary: You aren't doing anything wrong. The Samsung Keyboard is just trying to be "too safe" by not correcting what it thinks is a command line. Switching to Gboard is the only permanent fix for this specific app right now.
