How To Remove Words From Android Dictionary Galaxy S7

Thread Starter

There is a word that I cannot remove from the predictive text by holding on the word. Is there some other style to remove it?

Depends on what Keyboard app y'all use. On the default i, I think y'all have to go to the keyboard settings.

mikedt and Mikestony like this.
It is the default Samsung keyboard and in settings at that place isn't an selection to change or modify the dictionary. I desire to keep the predictive text.
I don't have an S7, so I wouldn't know the changes they made to the keyboard since the previous models.
I do utilise Swiftkey, which has a much better predictive algorithm than the default Samsung keyboard, and can also larn words. The good think in using Swiftkey is that you lot can take your lexicon across devices since you can sync your dictionary to all your devices using Swiftkey (and yes Swiftkey also works on iOS so you can sync dictionaries between say, your iPad and your Android phone, if it comes to that). And so if you can't notice another person who knows the answer, I suggest you use Swiftkey.

PS: Any keyboard app will give y'all a alarm that information technology may salvage your passwords (duh, you type on it). It'southward a normal alert when setting upwardly a new default app apart from the built in one. Swiftkey even so is a very trusted company. It syncs using Google servers and is owned by Microsoft, and then it really tin can't steal anything new from you fifty-fifty if they wanted to. Microsoft already runs your(or your workplace's) PC and Google runs your phone. LOL. I'1000 not maxim that they do.
I don't know if you ever got an answer to this, merely I was having the same outcome (plant your post via google) and just figured out the answer.
When you lot're in the keyboard, if you click the arrow on the right it will driblet down to give multiple choices. At that point y'all can hold downwardly the discussion you want to become rid of, and the normal "*Discussion* volition be removed from learned words." will come up.
Cheers for your answer. That worked! Some other, easier way I found after reading your answer is to simply tap and hold on the word and a dialog box pops open saying that the give-and-take will be removed from learned words. Y'all tin can click OK or cancel.
If y'all want to delete all history and start over you can exercise it by following this. Go to settings>Language and Input>Samsung keyboard>Reset settings>Clear personalized data.
that would be only fashion too painful.
I opened up Color Note and started a new Text annotation, titled information technology Word editing
gonna go out it in that location.

and then in the body of the note, I spelled out a word that I miss typed earlier today, and it showed both the bad spelled give-and-take and the correctly spelled give-and-take.

Long press on the bad word did the trick, it is now gone.
thanks much for this thread. found it immediately in a search.
Nougat vii.0 Update - To keep predictive text but delete learned words, practise the post-obit:
Settings > General Management > Language and input > Virtual keyboard > Samsung keyboard > Reset settings > Articulate personalized data
I try to delete words all the fourth dimension, but they keep coming back. At that place's then many junk words in the lexicon that should not be there, and they won't go away, no affair how many times they are removed
