Hello MattYHLin,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand from the information you provided that predictive text is not working; I'd like to help.


Since noticing this behavior, have you had a chance to restart your device? This step may seem fairly simple, but it can resolve some issues:


Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If you continue to have this issue, try turning off predictive text and then restarting your iPhone before turning it on and testing again:


Use predictive text on iPhone

"Turn off predictive text

  1. While editing text, touch and hold  or .
  2. Slide to Keyboard Settings, then turn off Predictive.

When you turn off predictive text, iPhone may still try to suggest corrections for misspelled words. To accept a correction, enter a space or punctuation, or tap return. To reject a correction, tap the “x.” If you reject the same suggestion a few times, iPhone stops suggesting it."


Additionally, you may want to try changing the keyboard language and testing it, then swapping it back to Chinese again:


About the keyboards settings on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Keep us posted with the results.


Best Regards.
