Reset Keyboard Dictionary - Not Working

I've followed the instructions for resetting the keyboard dictionary for predictive text but it doesn't seem to be deleting the existing database. There is no error message when selecting reset and entering my pin. After I do so and tap reset, there are still unique words (including ones I've made up) populating on my keyboard as suggestions.


Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi BobLoblaw99,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today with resetting the keyboard dictionary. It sounds like the reset did not work.


After resetting, did you Restart your iPhone?


Do you have more than one keyboard installed?


Have you tried to remove unwanted text replacements individually? How to use Auto-Correction and predictive text on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If the issue is still happening, let me know more details.


Have a fantastic weekend!
