How to Reset Keyboard Dictionary on iPhone/iPad [Quick Tip]

All of you might already be aware of the dictionary part of the iOS. In that case, you will also be familiar with the mechanism in which the iOS automatically adds words to its dictionary as you type, even though they do not make any meaning to the system. It’s certainly useful when you are chatting with your friends with improvised words out of the official dictionary.

At the same time, it can get you in some embarrassing situation when someone else has your iPhone/iPad in their hands. The dictionary might suggest some of your words which you used earlier and that are also sensitive. There’s no particular way to delete a particular word from the iOS dictionary, there’s a way you can reset the dictionary entirely. Here we will guide on the same, so just hold on to your seat and enjoy the show.
