I dislike the way keyboards build a personal language library. I currently use Huawei Swype and whilst yes, every now and then I can clear the library, I would like to not have to do that.

Is there any way to disable this feature on Swype?

  • Have you tried using the Google Keyboard application? It pretty much allows you to disable personalized corrections and a few more options.

    @benjaminS I did actually check it out because it comes pre-loaded on my phone as an alternative. I apparently overlooked the setting that was necessary! Make it an answer and take the points, it isn't the prettiest of keyboards but it does what I wanted where Swype seemed to refuse to

  • I just want you you to note that a part of the question is off-topic here (e.g. Is there an app that does X? ). Visit help center to know what's on-topic here et al.

  • @Firelord thanks for pointing it out, I admit I did not visit the android stack's help centre, probably should have done that before posting the question. Thanks for the guidance

  • I removed the bit about asking for recommendations. This question is fine as it is, currently.

Have you tried using the Google Keyboard application? It pretty much allows you to disable personalized corrections and a few more options.

You have the option to change the following settings:

  • Block offensive words: Block Google Keyboard from suggesting potentially offensive words.

  • Auto-correction: Set the spacebar and any inserted punctuation to automatically correct mistyped words.

  • Show correction suggestions: Show suggested words while typing.

  • Personalized corrections: Set Google Keyboard to learn from your typing to improve its suggestions to you.

  • Suggest Contact names: Use names from your contacts for suggestions and corrections.

  • Next-word suggestions: Use the previous word in making suggestions.
