iPhone 5, my 'define' word feature no longer is an option. How can I get it back?

Thanks! This helped me out, had the same problemn now I'm good to go!

A simpler solution that just worked for my broken dictionaries on my iPhone 5 after updating to iOS 8 was the solution found in this thread: ios7 dictionary management bugs? And it was a lot simpler to do:

• Go to the Notes app
• Write a definable word (I wrote both "test" and "iPhone" to be able to prompt both broken New Oxford American and Apple dictionaries)
• Select that word and then "Define"

Doing that method, the dictionaries came up immediately. I don't know why they wouldn't come up in Safari, Facebook.app or any other apps. But as soon as they came up in Notes, they came up everywhere else.

Hi! This may be a bit of an old subject, but here's what I did!

I have got an iPhone 5 as well. You see that little play button thing when you highlight it? Press it and then this will come up:

Then you press 'define'! This was my first post, hope this helps! Cheers!
