Gboard has a toggle to disable/enable spellcheck completely, but using 3rd-party keyboards such as AnySoftKeyboard or SwiftKey shows this red-underline and suggestion-box that cannot be disabled.

spellcheck

The spellcheck is actually part of the Android system, not part of AnySoftKeyboard.

How can I disable spellcheck for the whole system? Or does the developer of the keyboard app always need to implement this feature?

In case it's relevant, I'm on Android 10, ColorOS 7.

On Android 8.0+:

Go to System -> Languages and Input -> Spell Checker -> Toggle use spell checker off

Depending on your device the location of that toggle may be different
