Question About Typing Texts in the Messaging iPhone App

Hi, Since I put the IOS 14 update on my iPhone, I have been having issues with typing texts in the iPhone messages app. If I leave my finger on a letter for a couple of seconds, the phone tries to guess what word I want and fills it in for me. The problem is that it's wrong most of the time. That means I have to go back and delete the word the phone stuck in the text. How do I turn off this this option. I don't want the phone trying to guess what I am writing. It's annoying to say the least.

Thanks for your help.

Hi, You can try turning off slide to type and predictive text. These settings can be found in keyboard settings.
