"Predictive: Hello! Guys, I've made all the steps, but the problem still exists. Each action: restart the phone, reset all settings or backup helps for next 40 minutes - 1 hour only and the predictive text disappears. (The same problem my husband has. We have iOS 14.) Actually, we got this problem with last iOS version (14)."

Restore from your iPhone:

Did you even backup your iPhone prior to this install? If not, Resetting the iPhone may be the only way around this..


If you Made no Backup:

If you never made a backup, then take this as a learning experience, and note to always backup your iPhone prior to updating it.  Learn More Here: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a Backup - Apple Support


In depth...


To Update an iPhone:

Update your iPhone using the iPhone itself, a Mac, or a PC, even. How to do so....


Two Major Steps: - Backup then Update

1. Backup First: Make a backup of your device using iCloud or your computer, that way you have something to restore your iPhone from, should anything go wrong after the install.


2. Then, Update Using these Links:

I'm having the same problem since the release of iOS 14, but with the Swedish keyboard. English word prediction works fine, just like in your case. I tested Russian and Dutch and can confirm that word predictions for those languages also stops working after a while. I tested French and it is like English, no issue there.


And just like you, I restart my phone and the word predictions works again for a few hours, max. Then they disappear. Resetting the phone's settings and deleting its data did not help.


Hopefully, more people can report this obvious bug to Apple (I did a few weeks ago) so we can get a solution.
