What is difference Between Autocorrect and Predictive Text?
The auto-correct feature on your keyboard spellchecks words as you type them and automatically replaces misspelled words using the keyboard dictionary.
On the other hand, the predictive text feature predicts and shows some words and phrases you might type next based on your previous conversations, your preferred writing style, and even the websites you visit.
