Android smartphones have an amazing default keyboard that is highly customizable and efficient. It has a feature that allows it to learn new words as you type. However, sometimes the learned words can become a nuisance if you inadvertently added misspelled words or irrelevant terms. Deleting these words from your keyboard’s database can help you avoid embarrassing typos or prevent autocorrect from suggesting the wrong words.

If you’re looking to remove learned words from your Android device’s keyboard, there are a few ways you can do it. Here are some of the most efficient methods:

Method 1: Manually Remove Words

The first and easiest method to remove a learned word permanently is to do it manually. Follow these steps:

1. Open the keyboard on your device.

2. Long press on the word you want to delete from the suggestion bar.

3. A pop-up menu will appear with two options: Remove or Delete prediction.

4. Tap on the option to delete the selected word. It will be removed from the keyboard’s database, and you’ll no longer see it pop up as a suggestion.

Method 2: Clear Keyboard Data

If you have a lot of learned words that you no longer need, you can clear your keyboard’s data. However, this method has the disadvantage of deleting all learned words, including the ones that you would prefer to keep. Follow these steps:

1. Go to your Android phone’s settings, then tap on “System.”

2. Tap on “Languages & input,” and then select “Virtual keyboard.”

3. Choose the keyboard app you’re using, such as Gboard or Swiftkey, and select “Storage.”

4. Click the “Clear Data” button to delete all saved words from your keyboard’s storage.

Method 3: Reinstall Your Keyboard App

If you have tried the above methods and still can’t remove the learned words or accidentally delete some important words, reinstalling the keyboard app may help. This method deletes all the saved data on the keyboard, so it is essential to back up any essential data. Follow these steps:

1. Go to your Android phone’s settings and select “Apps.”

2. Choose the keyboard app you’re using, such as Gboard or Swiftkey.

3. Tap on “Uninstall,” then uninstall the app.

4. Go to play store and download it and install it again.

5. Set up the keyboard, and you’ll have a fresh start with no saved words.
