Help Emails in predictive text

[Stacy Stevens]

I have noticed email contacts on mine are now in my predictive text in my keyboard and words auto correct to them quite frequently. I have deleted a couple emails and I have tried looking for a setting to change this, but I can't find it. Does anyone have any advice?

I think it depends on the device. I can't change it in my S6 Edge but it is possible with other devices. What device do you have?

Note 5

OK I don't think Samsung can do this. There may be keyboard apps on the Playstore that can work around this but I have no experience of those. Maybe someone has and will answer your question. Sorry I couldn't help.

Thanks for the reply anyway This is driving me nuts!

Third party keyboards would certainly let you edit the predictions. For example, in SwiftKey if I see an unwanted prediction in the suggestions I just long-press it and it asks for confirmation that I want to delete it.

On my phone (HTC) I can edit predictions for the built-in keyboard from Settings > Keyboard (select the built-in one and there's an option to edit the dictionary). I've no experience of Note 5 software though, so can't say whether that's an option (if it's not in the keyboard settings and a long press on the prediction doesn't give you the option then probably not - they shouldn't make it too hard to find).
