Quick-type not working on my iPhone 5.

Hi, after I did the ios8 update on Thursday the quick-type function wasn't working. I didn't think much of it at the time it was only when my husband showed it me on his iPhone. Anyway I reset my phone and it Appeared when I went in messages. However now I have noticed its disappeared again I've checked against all keyboard settings on my husbands phone and they all match, I have no other keyboards installed that could be causing issues. And nowhere online seems to have reported this issue can anyone help?! Its driving me insane!

iPhone 5, iOS 8

The easiest way to fix this is add another keyboard and then enable the predictive function on both of those. I'll outline the steps:


  1. settings -> general -> keyboards -> keyboards -> add new keyboard -> {emoji}
  2. then open your keyboard and click and hold the globe symbol that appears in the bottom left of your screen.
  3. that will toggle a menu to pop up.
  4. continue sliding your finger up until the top part of the screen and cross the bubble that says predictive.


If this doesn't work, then open the default keyboard and swipe up from the top half.
