mm To use the suggested word, type a space, punctuation mark, or return character.

Reset dictionary suggestions: In Settings, choose General > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary. This resets all the suggestions you’ve made to the dictionary.

Turn Auto-Correction on or off: In Settings, choose General > Keyboard, then turn
