Turn Off Predictive Word Suggestions in iOS 8 on the iPhone 5
The steps in this article were performed on an iPhone 5 running the iOS 8 operating system. Earlier versions of iOS do not have this feature. You can also choose to minimize the row of predictive words by simply tapping on the row, then swiping down. It will still be there, but it will not be taking up as much space as it previously was. If you want to remove it completely, however, then follow these steps.
Step 1: Touch the Settings icon on your Home screen. Step 2: Scroll down and select the General option. Step 3: Scroll down and select the Keyboard option. Step 4: Touch the button to the right of Predictive. You will know that it is turned off when there is no green shading around the button.
You will now be able to use the keyboard in an app without having the row of predictive words above it.
