This has been happening to me also and if I shut is off under Setting>General>Keyboards and then turn it back on again it resets PT but is still quite annoying to keep resetting.
iPhone 5 iOS 8.0

Hi there nevadan61,
It looks like the User Guide has the information you are lookign for.

I find, even now on iOS8.02 it keeps disappearing and you have to do the "switch it off and on again" routine described above to get it back. Hope they fix that with iOS8.1 on Monday!
ANSWER:
You can quickly hide the little Quick Type drawer with a swipe gesture:
Tap and hold on any word in the QuickType suggestion box, then drag down to close the QuickType drawer
That’s it, if you want to see QuickType again, just swipe back up from that drawer on the iOS keyboard to reveal the suggestions again.
HI ajpolinske,
you are lucky. Turning predictive text on/off in Settings has no effect. There is no predictive text line in "messages", "mail", "Calendar" or "Safari" and the option when I touch & hold the keyboard "globe" is greyed out.
I DO get predictive text in "iLife" apps & "Notes" & strangely I am getting it while I write in this text box!!!!
Thanks to Jan-Louis and to all the others who explained the quick fix for predictive disappearing. SO appreciate it! So annoying to keep resetting in settings.
Thanks for that, mine's been gone for so long I forgot how to use it. Happy to have it back. 🙂
You can cycle the PT feature back on using the method suggested above but I'm really put off by the way iOS loses its settings. The PT setting on my v8.4 (latest) says it's ON but it's not. This is ridiculous.
I have exactly the same problem... Worse is that there is no information anywhere on Apple's sites or on the Internet whether or not there are restrictions to which applications can use predictive text and which ones cannot. E.g. why searching in Google the predictive text option is greyed out? Why there is no reference to such behaviour in the User Manual? Why is that in over a year there is no official response from Apple?
I Have the same problem. This morning the predictive text disappeared in the middle of a text.
My predictive setting is set on in settings, however, still not working. Also, when I push the Smiley face (i also saw this in the quick tips guide) I can see the predictive toggle, but it is grayed out!
