<h2> How Do I Make My iPhone Forget Words </h2> Predictive text is a valuable feature that guesses which words you’re typing or going to enter on your iPhone. It’s only helpful when it guesses correctly, though, and sometimes it gets the wrong idea. Don't like this feature?

You can’t edit individual entries in the predictive text dictionary, and you can’t remove individual words. If you’re getting a lot of incorrect or unwanted suggestions, the best solution is to reset predictive text and start from scratch.<br/> If you are a long-time iPhone user, you might wonder where the little &#34;x&#34; went, which allowed you to delete the suggested word.

Previous versions of iOS allowed you to remove words from the predictive text dictionary directly, but that is no longer possible. If you still have an older version of iOS, look for a small X icon in the predictive text bubble. If you tap X each time the incorrect suggestion appears, it will eventually edit the word out of the predictive text dictionary.
