I am pretty sure the "spell checking" feature is part of the BROWSER you are using to access FaceBook on your 'puter.

HENCE: Look through the options/settings within your browser

BTW: To start with, WHICH browser are you using? (Firefox, Opera, AVG, Avast, Edge, Chrome, Safari.....etc)

For example: I use FIREFOX browser and under "language" settings, there is a checkbox to turn ON/OFF spell-checking.

In addition to which browser you're using it might be nice to know what operating system you're using to kind of identify the computer type.

Download Grammarly for free use it will spell check your writing and also correct your grammar, put punctuation where it belongs, and your writing will look like you were an English major in college. It corrects my typing mistakes Even though I am a good speller, the brain and the fingers don't always communicate well enough that I don't make an occasional mistake. Like misspelling occasionally.

I personally do not trust any 3rd party app that sends everything I type on my keyboard to a website in a foreign country. They grab everything including usernames and passwords. Do any internet banking?

Putting encryption on the data transfers doesn't stop their servers from getting hacked.

Believe it or not everything they scrape off your computer becomes their property and you agree to that in their EULA. No thanks.

I thought it was too good to be real, after reading the tricks in it I too said no thanks.
