Built-in Dictionary not working iOS 9.3.4 (with pictures)

got it too after updating to 9.3.4 i believe.

Hi Allete. You may just need to restart. Home Sleep and Home buttons until the Apple appears. This reboots the system.

Rebooting did not resolve issue.

Called Apple Support, no help to resolve glitch in update, I haven't updated my iPhone where my definitions still work 9.3.3

I've seen a number of reports of the missing dictionaries, I have it too. Right now all I can recommend is sending feedback to Apple.

same case. I had my iphone 5s back to 9.3.3 from 9.3.4 hoping to retrieve the dictionary. STILL THE SAME. I think the culprit is the dictionary server link to apple. I feel the server is not accessible at the moment

The server might not be up and running as you suggest!

My iPad Pro's dictionary is still working but I can't download new languages. My iPhone has just been restored recently so it's not a surprise that there is no dictionary. The thing is there is nothing to download but a blank page.

I am having the same issue with my new iPad Pro. Frustrating, hope apple solves it soon.

Same here with my iPad Air. iOS 9.3.4. My iPhone 5 is fine - no issues with the dictionary on 9.3.4

Please check the dictionaries on your phone. On my iPad I have the dictionaries I already had installed but don't have the list of new dictionaries to download. The new ones should be followed with a iCloud icon with a down arrow.

Thank you.

I am having the same issue. This is frustrating. Please help Apple.

It's working today, I was able to download dictionary, yay!

I've been struggling with this as well, and like lawdog1973 said above me, it appears to be working now.

Hey, I've got the same issue in this after restoring to iOS 9.3.4 and I fixed it, JUST UPDATE YOUR IPHONE AGAIN TO IOS 9.3.4. NOT RESTORE, JUST UPDATE. Hope it helps. 🙂

Thanks for the heads-up. This is good news indeed.
