Once you’re in the keyboard settings, follow these steps to delete suggestions:
- Scroll down and tap on “Text correction.” This is where the keyboard stores its suggestions.
- Tap on “Personal dictionary.” This will show you all the words and phrases that the keyboard has learned from your typing.
- Scroll through the list and find the suggestions you want to delete.
- Tap on the three dots next to the suggestion you want to remove.
- Select “Delete” from the menu that appears.
Repeat this process for each suggestion you want to delete. Once you’re done, your keyboard should no longer show those suggestions.
Step 3: Disabling Browser Suggestions
