Lost my dictionaries after updating to iOS 18 I have no clue how but I lost Hinglish dictionary from my phone after uodsting to iOS 18. Text prediction has become absolutely garbage. Doesn’t suggest im > I’m, ive > I’ve, pinacolada > piñacolada (and similar) anymore. It’s taking forever to type now and looks like I’ve lost a decade worth of efforts of training my keyboard. It used to suggest emojis on the basis of even the Hindi words that I used to type in English but I cannot see them anymore. I’m deeply saddened after I got this update.

iPhone Not Storing Custom Words Here’s the thing: I’ve been enjoying iPhone keyboard’s ability to store custom keywords on its own and use them when sliding on the keyboard on iPhone 13 Pro. When I switched to iPhone 16 Pro Max, however, this ability has gone. I can’t even slide/swipe my own name as it doesn’t recognise it anymore. Here’s how it used to work: when I wanted to store a new word, I’d type it in the whole word, say I’d type: “Kitnay” (کتنے means how many in Urdu) In the predictive suggestions, it would present me only “Kitnay” with quotes I tap on “Kitnay” and the next time I don’t have to type it in. It would be available when I slide. Or it would suggest the word if I had typed it in half way through. Over time I had so many words saved that I’d easily type/slide whole sentences in Urdu in Roman letters, as it’s very common for us to do that as writing on Qwerty is easy for us, rather than Arabic/Urdu letters. I’ve lost the ability to do that somehow and not able to achieve this after changing different settings. Please help me out here. Otherwise I’ll have to start using Google keyboard. That I don’t use because I like being able to scroll the cursor up/down through a paragraph by tap holding the space bar. Google keyboard only allows you to scroll sideways and not up. This is how my settings look like:

Dictionary in Kindle App not opening on iPhone 12 When I'm using the kindle app on my iPhone 12 the dictionary does not open. If you long press on a word the definition is given in the dialogue box but then when pressing ' Go To Dictionary' in the dialogue box it doesn't open. It's been this way for a long time. Despite a number of updates it is still the same?

Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities Riztoper,

Based on what you've described, we would first suggest making sure you have the most recent version of iOS available for your device, iOS 17.0.3. This update will ensure you have not only the latest features for your device, but also any security updates and important issue fixes: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

If you're still having issues with your dictionary after that, we suggest getting in touch with Apple Support directly. They will have the tools and resources to further assist. You can reach them here: Get Support.

Have a wonderful day.
