How do I get rid of autofill on my iPad Keyboard?

When I’m typing on my ipad, it will autofill with words that I don’t want. How can I stop this from happening?

Disabling Predictive Text Autofill on iPhone I like the predictive text option, seeing the options above my keyboard. They can be very helpful. However, it is so annoying that when I'm typing words like "to" or just random words that my phone thinks it knows the next part of, it automatically fills it in. "really" is a huge one for some reason. It autofills every time I said "R". Or it's always continuing my sentences. I have autocorrect off. I just wish I was able to keep predictive text on as an option but not be forced to let it autofill. It's so annoying. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How to disable the blue Caps Lock popover that obscures text on iPad 5 Gen Please refer to the screenshot below. When I want to type something in all capitals on my iPad, and I press the Caps Lock key, a blue popover with an up arrow obscures the text I am typing, so the only way to type something in all caps and still be able to see what I am typing is to hold down the Shift key. I was able to disable this “feature” on my Mac Pro desktop, after a great deal of Googling, by a SUDO command in Terminal. What is the equivalent on iOS? I am also curious, what is the reasoning behind this button covering the text while it is being typed? I have never wanted such a feature, and want to remove it from my universe.

Settings > General > Keyboard > Predictive = “off”.

It’s still doing it—even as I type this now….
