Predictive text can help you quickly type a reply, but if it's offering wild suggestions, you can easily turn the feature off.

The acronym T9 stands for Text on 9 keys. T9 predictive texting makes SMS messaging faster for cell phones without full keyboards.

We don’t even have to ask for that help. Predictive text is more assertive than ever. When I use apps with direct messaging and write emails, recommendations appear before I write a single word.
