Help Turn off predictive text Nougat

[athegn]

My wife has updated her 8" tab S2 to Nougat. That has of course defaukted to predictive text (why can't predictive text be an option and not a default?).

Anyway can someone please point me to a set of instructions to turn off predictive text on a Tab S2 running under Nougat, that has been shown to work?

Seems you have to go through more hoops to turn off predictive text on Nougat on an 8" S2 tablet.

tap Settings icon tap General Management press Selected Keyboard (say Samsung Keyboard) tap Smart typing switch off Predictive text
