iOS 10 - Emoji's not appearing in predictive text

Interesting. I just replied to an email and a text using the Apple example "I'm available at" and I got my free time appear on the suggestion bar. Pretty cool.

But using the Apple example "good to see you today. John's number is" didn't offer any suggestions. (I have a lot of friends and colleagues called John so I would have expected to see at least 1 number).

I frequently use iMessage and email to make meeting appointments but as I said I don't give others info out so still rings true that is is learning behaviour.

Very strange. I just tried to get my own info into both iMessage and email and it wont offer that either!

I tried the "I'm available at" phrase using mail app, but did not get any free time popped up. I dont use email application for setting up meeting and stuffs. I think then its learning behavior. Over the course of time it will suggest the stuff based on your reply pattern. Let me know if you find any other info regarding this. All other feature are fine and clearly usable. Only this one is the tricky one as this depends on usage of the application.

I follow what you're experiencing - just make sure you type your message then tap the emoji keyboard - all replaceable words should appear in yellow/orange and then tap to replace - all explained here : Use emoji on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support if not working as expected contact Apple Support.

Sorry - this should then prompt emojis to appear in the predictive section of the QuickType keybaord from that point forward.

This feature is working for all. The thing we are discussing here is contextual prediction which will suggest location, contact, calendar and emoji suggestion.

Also having the same issue, I can however at the end of my message press the emoji button and it will then offer me alternatives but I want it to do this as I am typing my message like i do with my other "predictive" words.

This feature works for me - you have to press the space bar after you type "my number is"

Yes there is the problem but as M3dik told probably it will observe the behavior and then slowly it will start suggesting.

I have now fixed the emoji predicitive issue:

The fix is to basically switch to the emoji keyboard and send loads of emoji's to yourself in a few messages. Then it starts working!!!

Nope richard for me still not working. Till how long you are using the iOS 10? I am just trying to understand if you are using for long time then probably there is a chance that the keyboard learnt the suggestion. I have installed the iOS just yesterday.

Let me try !!!

Yes now fixed for me too..Trying to solve the number and calendar part now.

Thanks! That solution worked perfectly!

Still no luck with the other parts like suggesting contact number,email,calendar time, location etc. They are not working. If anyone find any trick like this, please post here.

Solved all the issues.

1. To make the mobile or email suggestion work :-

Type "John's mobile is " --- It should suggest the number

Type "John's email is " --- It should suggest the email

Type "My address is " --- It should suggest the address provided you have address saved under your contact details

Type "John's birthday is " --- It should suggest the date in format "Month day" provided you have saved his birthday under contact details

2. For location suggestion :-

Type "I am currently at " --- It should suggest you to share the location and you have to allow for sharing location from settings

3. For calendar suggestion :-

Take and example that you have some meeting scheduled on your calendar tomorrow. Then type on message like "Tomorrow I am free at " --- It will show the free timing as an suggestive option. if you do not have anything scheduled on your calendar then the option wont come, may be application thinks that you are free for whole day 🙂.

Hope this helps.

I also have the same problem.

Worked immediately on my iPhone after installing iOS 10 and has never worked on my iPad Pro so it has absolutely nothing to do with learning.

On my iPhone when I'm in messages as soon as I type the word "car" a little car automatically appears as a suggestion however on my iPad I have to press the emoji keyboard to get that to happen.

I have done all the various reset suggested on the Internet and nothing fixes it.
