How Do I Make My iPhone Forget Words?
Predictive text is a valuable feature that guesses which words you’re typing or going to enter on your iPhone. It’s only helpful when it guesses correctly, though, and sometimes it gets the wrong idea. The only way to make an iPhone forget words from its predictive text dictionary is to reset the dictionary. You can’t edit individual entries in the predictive text dictionary, and you can’t remove individual words. If you’re getting a lot of incorrect or unwanted suggestions, the best solution is to reset predictive text and start from scratch. Here’s how to reset your iPhone predictive text dictionary:
How Do I Remove a Word From Predictive Text?
You can’t remove a word from predictive text, but you can force predictive text to provide a specific suggestion for a particular thing you type. If your predictive text shows an incorrect spelling or an unrelated word, the best way to fix it is to create a manual shortcut. To do this, enter the incorrect spelling as a shortcut and the correct spelling as a phrase. Here’s how to force predictive text to spell a word correctly:
How Do You Edit Predictive Text on iPhone?
There is no way to edit predictive text on an iPhone directly. If you want to remove one word from the predictive text dictionary, the only way is to reset the dictionary. Previous versions of iOS allowed you to remove words from the predictive text dictionary directly, but that is no longer possible. If you still have an older version of iOS, look for a small X icon in the predictive text bubble. If you tap X each time the incorrect suggestion appears, it will eventually edit the word out of the predictive text dictionary. If you inadvertently accept an incorrect suggestion from predictive text, you can undo it by tapping backspace and selecting the correct one. If the iPhone doesn’t make the right suggestion, continue tapping backspace and manually type the word you wanted.
