my predictive text disappeared. Any idea how to get it back?

Had the same problem with the predictive text being grayed out. I found that if I opened text turned cell sideways that I was able to turn predictive text back on. I also turned it off just in case. Hope this helps

Thanks! turning the phone sideways didn't help, however the "drawer" so tiny, just above the keyboard, when swiped up turned it on!! (The predictive toggle is not grayed out then either!) Thanks showbiz5

Thanks for that, been doing my head in. PT was already switched on, but turning off and on again restored it.

What was Jan's quick fix? What he suggests is merely the toggle option for PTs regular functionality, not for the "bug" iOS has which keeps losing the PT.

I am currently on a brand new iPhone 6s Plus with the latest iOS, 9.1.

Thanks! Didn't even notice the "drawer". You've saved me SO much time texting!! 😀

I am having this problem on BOTH my iPhone and iPad!! The little "slider" that brings up predictive text is NOT there! My settings show "on" for predictive text yet it is gone from both devices. I am up to date using 9.3.1. I have shut down several times and still ... no predictive text!

Well, it came back! I don't know what did it but I fiddled around with trying to type and all of a sudden it popped back up! On the iPad it looks different from what I recall. There is no "slider" but that is OK . Seems like this enhancement might need a little more development!

Thank-you, Griff W.! That worked like a champ! 8 )

I Have this same problem and kept wondering what I was hitting on accident to make my predictive text go away, I finally found a quicker solution to fixing this rather than going to settings > general > keyboards > Predictive text!! Yea me! L L

Turn off predictive text. Touch and hold your keyboard button (the round button at the bottom of your keyboard that changes between different keyboards, next to your number shift button, bottom left side) at the top you'll see "predictive text" then slide to Predictive! Voilà ❗️ Im not sure what I'm hitting to make my Predictive Text go away, I guses I could be doing that in a very fast motion while typing and not realizing it but this is a MUCH faster way to get it back up on your screen. I am using an iPhone 6S Plus, I'm pretry sure all newer iPhones are the same but I couldn't tell ya anything about androids.

I Hope this helped out, I tried to be as detailed as possible because I know how frustrating it can be. Good Luck & have fun‼️

I'm now experiencing this issue in safari, with iOS 10.0.2 and an iPhone 7 plus. This isn't being resolved by your suggestions. Anyone any ideas?
