The native keyboard on iOS learns what you type on your iPhone and then suggests words as you type them, or corrects misspelled words to the words you meant to type. While this can be a useful feature when it works, it can get pretty annoying when your keyboard corrects words you meant to type without suggesting them.

If this has happened to you, it’s probably because the keyboard history on your iPhone has collected your typing patterns and words used over an extended period of time and needs to be cleared to make room for newer words. In this post, we’ll explain all the ways you can disable and clear keyboard history on your iPhone.

Your iPhone’s keyboard history stores a collection of words you type frequently, either to suggest them in future sentences or to correct them yourself to the predicted words. iOS’s keyboard history can be both a blessing and a curse, as it sometimes corrects the words you type to the word you intended, while other times it automatically suggests or replaces irrelevant words when you type on the native keyboard.
