PredicitveText Lost on Google Only

[KezzaL]

Since the update on my S21 48 hours ago, predictive text has been lost on a Google search. In everything else it is still okay. Any ideas please?

To help you identify why you're missing the predictive text on Google search,@KezzaL, let's begin by switching off the phone for 20 seconds to give it a fresh start.

I've just tried that but it still doesn't work. Prior to posting the issue earlier, I had tried a restart but no luck there either.

Same happened to me. Go to playstore uninstall google and reopen the text comes back

[KezzaL]

That's brilliant. It works perfectly now. Thank you so much for your help. It's much appreciated.

Thanks @jarv25 ... that has saved my sanity!

Uninstalling Google hasn't actually worked long term! It works for the rest of the day and then, by the next morning, predictive text is lost again! So I'm uninstalling every morning but I'm guessing it's just the update I'm uninstalling because then it offers to update. So Google must be updating overnight and losing the predictive text again. Oh I hate technology!
