[AC Question]

my phone recently did a system update to Nougat. ever since then, autocorrect has vanished. ANNOYING. I've tried going to the language menu and selecting the samsung and google keyboard options but after that, there is only a toggle on and off switch. None of these have helped. I contacted Samsung and they couldn't help. They had me place my phone in safemode, which didn't solve the problem. then instead of trying to find another solution, they want me to do a system restore, which im not prepared to do at this time. Anyone else have any insight?

So you went to settings... General management... Language and input... Virtual keyboard... Samsung Keyboard...? There you should have predictive text second from the top, just under languages...
If you can't find it, try force stopping the keyboard app itself, wiping it's cache.
Also, after big updates, it's I his idea to wipe cache partition to clean out the device and freshen it up a bit...

yes, i went to those menus and predictive text is turned on. I've tried restarting my phone too. Nothing. how do i force stop the keyboard?

[bruins3781]

nevermind, i remembered how. however, that is not an option. there is no keyboard selection anywhere that would allow me to do a force stop

Settings... Applications... Tap the three dots on top right corner. Select show system apps... Keyboard will be there...
