If you use SwiftKey as your keyboard app on your Apple device, you might have encountered some suggestions that don't quite match what you intended to type. These suggestive words can be helpful, but they can also be a bit annoying at times. But don't worry, there are some simple steps you can take to remove or customize those suggestions to better suit your needs.
To start off, open the SwiftKey app on your iPhone or iPad. Once you're in the app, tap on "Typing" to access the typing settings. In this section, you will find an option called "Typing & Autocorrect." Tap on it to reveal more options related to word suggestions and autocorrections.
In the "Typing & Autocorrect" menu, you will see a setting for "Type Correction." This setting determines the level of correction and suggestions provided by SwiftKey. If you want to remove suggestive words altogether, you can simply turn off this feature. This will disable any autocorrection and word suggestions, allowing you to type without any interference from the keyboard.
If you prefer to keep autocorrection on but want to fine-tune the suggestions, you can customize the dictionary used by SwiftKey. By adding or removing words from the dictionary, you can influence the suggestions provided by the keyboard. To do this, tap on "Typing" again and then choose "Words."
In the "Words" menu, you will have the option to add words to your personal dictionary or remove words that you don't want SwiftKey to suggest. This feature can be handy if SwiftKey keeps suggesting a word that you rarely use or if it keeps autocorrecting a specific term incorrectly.
Additionally, if there are certain phrases or sentences that SwiftKey frequently suggests and you find them unhelpful, you can manually delete these suggestions. When you type a word that SwiftKey suggests and you don't want to use it, tap on the suggestion and hold it. A prompt will appear asking if you want to remove the suggestion. Confirm the deletion, and SwiftKey will no longer suggest that particular word or phrase.
By following these steps and customizing the settings in your SwiftKey app, you can take control of the word suggestions and autocorrections to better suit your typing style and preferences. Whether you prefer a hands-free typing experience or you want more personalized suggestions, SwiftKey offers various options to tailor the keyboard to your liking. So go ahead, explore the settings, and make SwiftKey work just the way you want it to.
