Detailed Guide How to Reset Predictive Text on iPhone

Predictive Text is a handy feature on the iPhone that suggests words you frequently type right above the keyboard, making typing faster and more efficient. 

However, there might be times when you want to reset this feature, perhaps to remove certain words that you no longer use often. 

Unfortunately, Apple does not currently offer an option to delete individual words from Predictive Text. Instead, you’ll need to reset the entire keyboard dictionary. Here’s how:

• Open Settings: Tap on the Settings app icon to open it. This is where you can adjust all the settings for your iPhone.
• Go to General Settings: In the Settings menu, tap on the “General” option. This will take you to a menu with various general settings for your iPhone.
• Access Reset Options: Scroll down the General Settings menu until you find the “Reset” option, then tap on it. This will lead you to a menu with several reset options for your iPhone.
• Reset Keyboard Dictionary: In the Reset menu, tap on the “Reset Keyboard Dictionary” option. This will prompt a warning that all custom words you have saved in your keyboard dictionary will be deleted
• Enter Your Passcode: You will be asked to enter your passcode for security reasons. After entering your passcode, you will see a red “Reset Dictionary” option appear.
• Confirm Reset: Tap on the “Reset Dictionary” option to confirm. All the custom words in your keyboard dictionary will now be deleted, and your Predictive Text feature is reset.

Remember, resetting your keyboard dictionary means that your iPhone will no longer remember the custom words you frequently use. You’ll have to type these words manually until your iPhone learns them again.
