    Removing predictive text in Chrome - nothing works. Please help!


    Hello
    I have a real problem and I can't understand this (I am elderly but quite tech savvy). I have just moved to Google Chrome from Edge and it is great except for this problem.

    I have followed instns to remove predictive text to the letter from this site ie
    settings - advance -privacy........but your instns then clearly show a line which offers me the chance to switch it off but, on my Chrome screen in settings/privacy there is nothing like this!

    The icon on my desktop shows the Chrome logo and in Control Panel it shows as downloaded - am I not in Chrome? When I click on the icon the screen comes up with GOOGLE search bar in middle but does not mention Chrome.
    What am I doing wrong please? I am at my wits end over this. Must be in Chrome surely as when I downloaded it all my old favourites and desktops icons like you tube etc appeared with the Chrome circle.
    Thanks

    :)

    Windows 10 text prediction suddenly not working in chrome

    I enabled "show text suggestions as I type" in Setting -> Typing and it works very well in chrome, but today, as I opened chrome, I found that text prediction does not work in chrome anymore, however, it still works outside chrome.

    How can I fix it?

    Thanks in advance.

    predictive text - windows 10 mobile

    Why would a User who has encountered the problem of 'Predictive Text' suddenly now missing from their Windows 10 mobile device "Select the Option to turn off the “suggest text”"?

    This strikes me as illogical to resolving the identified problem. I might understand if you instructed the User to restart their device then turn it On to see if toggling the setting might re-enable this service. However, that not being stated suggests an
    oversight/error.

    In my situation, my Lumia 950 XL no longer simply identifies 'correct' words as before. This became noticeable prior to the recent 9 step + 8 step series of Windows 10 Mobile updates.

    I found this predictive text service quite helpful with respect to my 'large' fore-finger tip often unintentionally touching adjacent characters resulting in typing errors ranging from quite simple to utterly deranged 'words' which often are corrected by
    simply touching one of the array of suggested alternate options available.
