Step-by-Step Guide to Reset Predictive Text
Open Settings: Begin by accessing the settings menu on your Android device. This is typically found on your home screen or in the app drawer.
Navigate to Language & Input: Scroll down to find the Language & Input option. This may be located within the System section depending on your device model.
