Have you ever been frustrated with your Samsung device's predictive text feature? Maybe it keeps suggesting a word you don't use or doesn't recognize a word you frequently use. Fortunately, Samsung allows you to delete learned words and customize your predictive text to better suit your needs. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of deleting learned words on your Samsung device.
What are Learned Words on Samsung?
Learned words are words that your Samsung device has saved from your previous text messages, emails, and other forms of communication. These learned words are then used by the predictive text feature to suggest words as you type. While this feature can be helpful, it can also be a nuisance if you frequently use words that your device doesn't recognize or if it keeps suggesting words you never use.
How to Delete Learned Words on Samsung
To delete learned words on your Samsung device, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your Samsung device.
- Select "General Management."
- Select "Language and Input."
- Select "On-screen Keyboard."
- Select the keyboard you use (e.g., Samsung Keyboard).
- Select "Smart Typing."
- Select "Predictive Text."
- Toggle the switch next to "Predictive Text" to turn it off.
- Toggle the switch on again to turn predictive text back on.
By turning predictive text off and on again, you'll delete all learned words on your Samsung device.

This will remove the selected word from your device's learned words.
How to Add Custom Words to Samsung's Learned Words

- Select "Add to dictionary."
This will add the selected word to your device's learned words, allowing it to be suggested in the future.
