Android 8.1 Keyboard on Galaxy Tab A doesn't display word choices My old Samsung Galaxy Tab running Android 4.2 would always show 3 word suggestions above the keyboard as I was typing. I thought it was very helpful. But my new tablet(Galaxy Tab A 8") running 8.1 doesn't have that. Can I get that back?
Let it be set to default keyboard(Samsung Keyboard).

Follow steps to turn on word's suggestions:

For Galaxy tab:

Follow the steps:


Open Settings - Scroll down to System - Language and input-Choose Samsung keyboard.
Under Smart typing choose Predictive text and enable it.


For Handsets:


Open Settings-General Managment-Language and Input-On screen keyboard-Samsung Keyboard.
Now turn on 'Predictive text' option and again in this option turn of 'Auto replace'.


Note: Auto Replace will enable the keyboard to replace predicted words by itself and this could create problem while typing.
