Android 7 predictive text multiple languages Last night, my phone (Samsung Galaxy S6) updated from Android 6.something to Android 7.0. Since I use my phone for typing both Dutch and English very often, occasionally even within the same conversation, and I am a very sloppy typist, I used to have predictive text and autocomplete/autocorrect on for both Dutch and English. This was working (mostly) fine: it would seemingly just find the closest approximation to what I had typed in either language.

Since the update, I have to explicitly choose a language by sliding the space bar. This is annoying, since it adds at least one action, and furthermore I keep forgetting, having to delete whatever I have written so far before switching languages and retyping it.

Would it be possible to go back to the situation I had before the update?

I have been using the default keyboard, with which I am otherwise very satisfied.
The same problem happened to me a few days ago, which was resolved thusly :


Go to the keyboard settings : Settings>Language and Input>Virtual Keyboard>Samsung Keyboard
Check that your languages are selected in 'Languages in types' 
Make sure that the "Predictive" option is activated.
Make sure that the "Auto replacement" option is activated.
Restart the app on which the keyboard was used so new settings are applied


That last point is the one that made it work again for me so I can type ugly things like "Holà yeah le clavier marche again" without having to slide the space bar.

This was suggested to me by the French Samsung support which answered (within a day !) the following :


  En effet, pour apporter une solution à votre demande, nous vous proposons d'effectuer les manipulations suivantes dans les "Paramètres" du clavier :
  
  
  ajouter le français et l'anglais dans "Langues et types" ;
  cocher le "Texte intuitif" ;
  cocher "Vérif. orthographe auto." ;
  Fermer et redémarrer l'application sur laquelle vous avez fait le reparamétrage du clavier.
