A secret Android-like autocorrect keyboard bar has been found in iOS 5 by Sonny Dickson. The bar lets users pick from a series of word choices.

Dickson has posted instructions on how to enable the hidden feature.

Instructions:
1. Download iBackupBot


2. Backup your iPhone/iPod in iTunes

3. 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:

Will this interfere with future things such as updating the iPhone software, creating new backups or restoring from backup?

Can Google sue Apple? You know for damn sure Apple would.

Nobody can sue Apple. They invented all features & would never copy!

My iPhone does not have com.apple.keyboard.plist in the backup or using iFile. Not showing anywhere on phone only ref to it was in the cache folder and it wasn't a plist. I've checked /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/ , Library/Preferences/ and every other Preferences location. iPhone 4 on iOS 5.0.

This bar is already in use in pretty much any non-Latin keyboard, e.g. Japanese, Chinese, etc. It simply seems not to be enabled by default for the English keyboard.
