How to Erase Keyboard History on iPhone
Most iPhone users love when the iPhone guesses what they are actually typing and this is only based on their writing habits. From one point of view, this is an excellent chance for people to type more fluently and therefore learn the language. However, the iOS keyboard also remembers misspelled words, suggesting corrections every time we write that particular word.
Obviously, this situation can be a little bit annoying at times, and having those words popping-up when we are typing with people around us can be sometimes embarrassing.
Luckily, there is a solution to this, knowing that we can clear out the entire keyboard history on our iPhones. So, if you are interested in how to erase your keyboard history on your iPhone, check out our blog post.
