If I can guess correctly what the is the issue that is being raised by you then the answer is. Try ignoring the predictive text and continue typing and you will be amazed that "snd" is automatically replaced with "and". When you want to type "and" and have typed "snd" erroneously then you have both the options to select from.They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other. Contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM.Images / pictures speak louder than words. It would be better if you can please post a screenshot of the predictive texts, in order to understand the phenomenon better.There are three things I would like to mention here. Are you referring to keyboard predictive texts or something else? I am unable to relate predictive texts and Contacts. Give me control over my data.Īnyone an idea if/how I can disconnect Predictive from my address book data? In addition to it messing up everything I’m writing, I also think of this as a data privacy concern. Especially because there seems to be no way to reverse it. I vaguely remember that ages ago when the feature first launched that there was a dialog asking me to grant it access to my address book. That doesn’t make it a good idea to suggest and apply them all the time, ahead of much more frequently used and semantically fitting terms. I have a long address book with lots of people with interesting surnames, I get it.

I want to prevent the predictive text feature from accessing my phone contacts. Instead, I’m after something very specific. Or how the thing should please please learn that I don’t ever want to write “snd” but “and” because really no one wants to write “snd” that frequently. Also not going into how it would be fairly easy to apply basic semantics in addition to grammatical rules in order to not produce completely nonsensical sentences all the time. Now I’m not going to complain about Apple censoring my language or anything, as I get that that’s a tough topic in text prediction services. Sometimes it’d be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad.

The iOS native predictive text feature produces pretty poor results.
