I think that’s just exactly what you’ve typed so far, meaning if you plan to hit space for the next word and another suggestion is offered, you can hit that instead to have it not replace.
I'm going to make this comment solely by talking. I like the Apple keyboard and like many others on this site had trouble with some of the more technical input methods. The one thing I have noticed since iOS 8is that the keyboard and the application or webpage no longer fits as well as it did. Four example the input box is now quite often behind the keyboard, see you can't see what you're writing, and I hope that Apple correct this quickly.I have not edited or change the text from what I was speaking. I can now quickly go through and correct any of the little mistakes such as missing spaces. Obviously I would not do this in a busy room.
Well I had sent Tim an email about it, maybe he'll pass it on.
Then again, maybe AT&T sponsored that suggested word! Lol. Because none of the other USA carriers come up that easily and often.
You mentioned AT&T used to be a brand in Canada. How long have you been using iPhones? Has it been since those days? If so, my guess is old learned behavior.
I'll be completely honest with you guys. I was wrong about this.
I shut predictive text off and went merrily on typing away as usual. But I kept playing around with SwiftKey. The SwiftKey keyboard inherently felt uncomfortable to me, and I really have to give Apple credit for designing a comfy keyboard with good key-spacing. But despite actually having felt ill at ease using SwiftKey - mostly because it felt *too* fast, too sensitive, and I kept missing a few keys - it is still a faster typing experience. Although I felt like I was missing nearly *every* key, I really wasn't, and its autocorrect is very well done. It made me feel a bit queasy at first, but I feel at home with it now. And in my view it's better than Apple's QuickType, though I still do love Apple's implementation. it comes in a very close second, and notwithstanding SwiftKey I wouldn't choose any other keyboard over it
As I grew more confident with it, I gradually worked the predictive text bar into my focus, and it became almost natural to simply notice the word I want and just tap it. It's usually right in the middle and highlighted nicely.
What I've noticed is that SwiftKey somehow works better for those who can naturally type faster. It seems to be less forgiving otherwise. I'm not sure how else to describe it, but it really is built for speed, as far as a QWERTY layout is concerned, at least.

Enlightening observation.
I have also dismissed predictive text, but your post makes me feel that I should, perhaps, give it another chance.
But it may just be that you have a more limited vocabulary and are happy to stick within that designated range. I shall test it out and let you know my judgment.

I take a dim view of typical texting shorthand (e.g., "u", "ur", "pls", "thx", and so on), and SwiftKey seems to account for the next natural word (complex or not) without any trouble.
I'll note that it took all this time (from my first review to this one) for it to really learn my vocabulary, or rather, for it to approximate the next word with enough success that I felt reason to stick with it.
I'm actually quite impressed. The teething stage - for me, at least - definitely made itself felt. I suppose I had grown very set in my ways.

Do I take it that you've been using it for a couple of weeks?
How can I get I stop QuickType predictive text from suggesting screenames I used to message? I noticed quick type suggests usernames I used to contact when I start with the first 2 letters of a name . I think they are from either my kik or instagram. I find this very annoying since I don't even have kik anymore so I would appreciate QuickType stop suggesting usernames I do not contact anymore. Anyone else notice this?

For me, AT&T doesn't pop up until I type "&".

But you're maybe right, it might come from the fact that some friends in the States use the service and perhaps I've typed it once or twice before.
Still, the point is that I'd like to have the option to remove it as a suggestion when it comes up.
Cheers.
That's how it works on SwiftKey.

Do I take it that you've been using it for a couple of weeks?
Yes, shortly after it became available.
It would be a major pain, but you could reset the dictionary/keyboard.
Turn it off.
Step #1. Open Settings
Step #2. Tap on General
Step #3. Scroll down and tap on Reset
Step #4. Tap on Reset Keyboard Dictionary
Step #5. Tap on Reset
You can't remove individual words. You have to remove all of them. Btw welcome to the forum.
