Hi Harlenc,


To clarify, predictive text won't work in the Safari search bar. However it should work when appropriate on the website you're using. If this isn't working properly you'll want to make sure your iPad is up-to-date. Here's how:


"Update your iPhone or iPad wirelessly

  1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
  2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
  3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
  4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.
  5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do."

Take care.
