Predictive keyboard question

[andonakis]

Just received my new phone and I love it. One question about the keyboard. While I'm writing this the predictive words are showing up on my keyboard. When I text it works also.
But when I use it in chrome or another application it doesn't work. Very annoying.
It seems it works in some apps and not in others.

Try going to this site from the browser and type a response to this comment. See if the predictive words come up. I can't do it right now since I'm working. If they come up then it may be a matter of what sites you're going to and wanting to type. If they don't come up then it may just be that some apps it works and others it doesn't work.

It's just on Google search. Or anything I type in chrome. It doesn't matter what site it is. Plus when I enter account info on apps it doesn't work. On my note 4 it worked on anything.
Don't get me wrong I love this phone. Just a small complaint.
I'm wondering if others have experienced the same thing.

It's not only in this phone. Although I don't use Chrome, I have the same in Firefox both in MXPE and HTC One M7. A quick search shows it happens in other phones too:

Why does autocorrect / predictive text NOT work in Google Now or Chrome Omnibox? | Android Authority Forums

I'm not sure if there is option to enable it or if it is keyboard-related or phone-related.

Download Swiftkey and you won't have any of these problems. Best predictive app available.

Does swiftkey let you add a row of numbers to the display?
