Why is predictive text not working properly on iOS 11

The new OS update seems to have failed in delivering a better predictive text experience. Previous OS worked much better.


I'm finding myself having to constantly correct words that have no grammatical relation to the previous word typed.


Changing words from singular to plural is buggy, again alternatives bear no relation to original word.


Revisit previous OS please!

iPhone 5s, iOS 11.2.2

Hello petersuchecki,


You can resolve this by going to, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary. Resetting this allows the phone to relearn the way you type and give you better predictions.


Note: Resetting the keyboard dictionary does not delete any personal data on the phone.


Hope this answered your question!
