Remove Learned Words from Keyboard on Android

One of the comforts of writing on smartphones when compared to PCs is the use of personalized data on mobile keyboards. The keyboards on smartphones analyze your writing pattern and automatically learn any new words that you use frequently. This is done with the intention of bettering the user experience. For example, it helps to improve the text prediction while you are typing on your phone. But this feature may also have adverse effects as well.

Smartphone keyboards learn new words as you type, every single minute you use them and in the process, they also end up learning our misspelled words as well. While the intention is right, the outcome here is not quite as expected. When you are typing on your phone and if your keyboard keeps suggesting a misspelled word, it sure could get annoying.

If this has happened to you and you want to get rid any word from the keyboard, you are in the right place. By following this guide, you should be able to remove/delete a saved word from any keyboard on Android devices.
