If you recently changed from Android to Apple, or you're just tired of the iPhone's own autocorrect, there is a simple way to add an Android-like autocorrect bar to your device. iPhone hacker Sonny Dickson discovered the feature hiding in iOS 5. It can be added to your iPhone 4, iPad and the iPhone 4S without a jailbreak.
The iPhone automatically corrects unfinished or misspelled words, but its limited word choices can lead to errors while typing. The keyboard autocorrect offers a number of word choices allowing you to choose the word you want. It's a helpful tool that keeps texting errors to a minimum.
Here's how to enable the autocorrect bar on your device:
1. Download iBackupBot
2. Backup your iPhone/iPod in iTunes3. Open iBackupBot and find the backup, then load it.

4. Find Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboard.plist and open the file. (if your software isn’t registered you’ll have to press cancel and then it will open)
5. Add in the following code:
6. Save your modifications, and then restore from backup from within iBackupbot.

I tried this and it is not working. Is there something more to adding the code? I went to the next available line and wrote:
KeyboardAutocorrectionListsYES
Then saved and reloaded from within.
Please help. I like this feature.
Thanks.
