Help turning on predictive text? Galaxy A71

[arinleves]

I have a Galaxy A71 and when I got it it didn't have any predictive text on. I have scoured the forums and tried what answers I found; such as checking "General management" and "Language and Input". There just isn't anything in the settings of the A71 about autocorrect. Maybe I'm using the wrong keywords? Or does this phone genuinely just not have it? Thanks.

I don't have a A71, however when you reply to this message it should and options symbol where emoji, gif etc is (I'm using the Samsung keyboard) click on that and hopefully you get something similar to this?

@arinleves: Further to the advice offered by @MrNoble please tap the cog symbol in the top right of your keyboard to access the settings > Smart Typing > Predictive Text > On. Alternatively, head to Settings > General Management > Language and Input > On Screen Keyboard > Samsung Keyboard > Smart Typing > Predictive Text > On.

Thank you! I didn't check the keyboard itself.
