In my old S4, when typing a message, I would be given a choice of words based on my typing. One of them would usually be the "new" word or partial word I typed. Now on my S7, if I select that option, I also get auto completion - mostly of words that I don't want. So when I wanted to type "pb sandwich [for peanut butter], I once got the word "obviously" after hitting the space bar after the "pb". I now have to hit the up arrow that precedes the choices instead of the space bar. Any way to get the common choices shown WITHOUT auto-completion? Any way to send an electric shock to the app designer every time it does?
How the predictive texts works depends on which keyboard app you are using, and there are many. I use SwiftKey. You can adjust how the predictive text, SwiftKey calls it Autocorrect, works.
The prediction engine will also learn over time. Some keyboards like SwiftKey allows you to sync your word choices and spelling preferences between multiple devices. It can be a life saver for people who use multiple devices.
