To reset keyboard word suggestions, use the settings for the keyboard you actually use: on iPhone, reset the keyboard dictionary; in Gboard, delete learned words; in Samsung Keyboard, clear personalised data. If only one word is wrong, remove that suggestion instead of clearing all learned data. Turning off predictive text hides suggestions but does not reset the dictionary.

First identify the keyboard

The steps differ by keyboard, not just by phone. On an iPhone, the instructions below apply to Apple’s built-in keyboard. On Android, check which keyboard is active before following a route: Gboard and Samsung Keyboard have separate controls, and their menu names can vary with device and software version.

Remove one unwanted suggestion

If a single word is the problem, try deleting that suggestion before resetting the keyboard’s learned data.

Reset the iPhone keyboard dictionary

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Tap General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset.
  3. Tap Reset Keyboard Dictionary and confirm.

Apple says this reset erases only words you added to the keyboard dictionary; it does not reset all iPhone settings. Apple also notes that rejecting a word the iPhone suggests while typing can add a word to the dictionary. See Apple’s keyboard guide and Apple’s reset settings guide.

  • Connect in seconds: Fast, easy Bluetooth wireless technology simply connects without the need for a dongle or USB port
  • Durable and reliable: Built for quality, K250 offers long-lasting keys, a spill-resistant design (2)

Choose Reset Keyboard Dictionary, not Reset All Settings or Erase All Content and Settings. The dedicated option targets added dictionary words; the broader reset choices affect more than the keyboard dictionary.

Delete learned words in Gboard

Open Gboard’s settings and go to Dictionary > Delete learned words. Google documents this in its Gboard troubleshooting instructions. The exact way to open Gboard settings depends on the device. If the settings or keyboard name do not match, verify that Gboard is active before proceeding.

Reset learned words or stop suggestions from appearing?

These are different changes. Resetting a dictionary or clearing learned data removes or changes what the keyboard has learned. Turning off predictive text controls whether predictions are displayed. If you want suggestions to stop appearing, change the keyboard’s predictive-text setting rather than resetting the phone. Apple documents predictive text and Auto-Correction as keyboard settings in its keyboard guide; Samsung includes a Predictive text setting in its instructions.
