When your Samsung keyboard starts acting up with predictive text issues, it can make typing frustrating. The keyboard might stop suggesting words, autocorrect might go haywire, or the whole system could become unresponsive.

4. 4.Find "Samsung Keyboard" and "Samsung Keyboard Neural Beta"
5. 5.Tap Storage
6. 6.Tap Clear Cache

If clearing the cache doesn't help, try clearing the keyboard data. This will reset your keyboard settings and remove any corrupted data.

1. 1.Go to Settings
2. 2.Tap Apps
3. 3.Select "Show system apps" (three dots in the top right)
4. 4.Find "Samsung Keyboard" and "Samsung Keyboard Neural Beta"
