How to Remove Learned Words From Samsung Tablets?

One of the greatest benefits of using Android tablets is the use of personalized data.

Over time your Samsung tablet uses machine learning to learn new words in order to align and simplify your writing.

You might have noticed that the more you are using your Samsung Tablet the better word suggestions it starts to provide.

However, we understand that sometimes the suggestions could be completely off topic and turn into a curse.

In this post, we will reveal how to remove learned words from Samsung Tablet and restore your keyboard as it was. You can either permanently stop the keyboard adaptation, or reset it to default settings in order to try to match your style of writing better.

Whether you are looking to get rid of the learned words and suggestions or you are just trying to reset the service, stick around to acknowledge everything you need to know and avoid any possible issues.

Learned Words, Advantage, or a Struggle?

Samsung tablet’s keyboard is programmed to learn new words every day, and sometimes the algorithm ends up learning misspelled words you use. This could lead to making the same mistake over and over again without even noticing. We understand that some of you might be using the Gboard keyboard or maybe even Swiftkey. Stick around as we are covering solutions regardless of the keyboard you are using.
