How do you edit autocorrect on Android?

You have two ways to access the relevant menu — either head to Settings > Language & input > Google Keyboard, or long-press the comma (,) button when using your keyboard, choose the gear icon that pops up, then select “Google Keyboard Settings”. Once you’ve arrived at the correct menu you need to tap “Text correction”.
