Turn off in-line predictive text but keep predictive suggestions.

New as of iOS 17 I have a new “feature” of predictive text appearing in line with what I’m typing, and blocking me from backspacing if I mistyped a letter. Worse, in text input fields that block me from exceeding a character limit, it traps me on that word that it wants to suggest.

iPhone 5s, iOS 12

The “Community Specialist” response is not helpful.


We want to COMPLETELY DISABLE the predictive and correction suggestions that pop up on the typing line while typing, but NOT the suggestions that pop up above the keyboard.
