Predictive Text on Macbook Pro touchbar

How do I get my predictive text to work, again? Regardless of the app that I'm using, (i.e. pages, notes, iMessage, etc...)or whether I'm online, predictive text has not been showing up in the touchbar. I've already turned on touchbar suggestions in text settings. What am I missing?! PLEASE HELP!

Predictive text missing for just one non Apple application I am running a 3rd party application, for which predictive text worked fine for the last year. However, for this app (which I have also deleted and re-installed), no longer shows the predictive information when the keyboard is active. I seem to remember that I inadvertently might have "swiped it away" when entering data one day (although I am not 100% sure), but regardless, I cannot get it to re-appear permanently for this app. I should note that I can get it to temporarily appear by holding my finger on the letter I would like to have it use for the predictive function, but then it immediately disappears once a choice is made, never to re-appear. Any thoughts?

Does the touch bar predictive text function work with Microsoft word? Does the touch bar predictive text function on a MacBook pro work when using Microsoft word. I seem to think mine was and now it is not. If it should work, how can I get the touch bar to suggest words. The bar is working with regard to a lot of the formatting options but doesn't show a keyboard icon and won't predict words.

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, neikomidoriya!

I understand you're not seeing text predictions while typing on your MacBook Pro. I'd be happy to provide information to help you address this.

Check to see if it works in safe mode: Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac

If it doesn't, test to see if it works on another user account: How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac

Let us know the results.

Have a great day!
