How To Clear Android Keyboard History

Doing a quick Google search on to how clear / delete the Android keyboard history throws up many results relating to Samsung mobile phones, such as the Galaxy S7 etc. The first few pages are nothing but related to mobile phones.. This is understandable due to how popular Samsung phones are. But if you want to clear the keyboard cache on a Tablet device that's running Android, the instructions / procedure is not the same.

Other than it being a bit annoying, there are many instances in which you may want to clear the keyboard history. One could be that you were researching something and have completed it and now the history isn't relevant / needed anymore. Or you may be using a shared device and don't want someone else's history popping up every time you type something. Or, even for your own privacy. Whatever the reason, here is how to clear the keyboard history on an Android device - in this case a tablet with Android Lollipop OS installed.

1. Click the settings (cog) icon
2. Click "Language & Input"
3. Select "Android Keyboard Settings (AOSP)"
4. Click "Text Correction"
5. Turn off "Personalised Suggestions"

And that's it, the history has been cleared and wont be saved anymore. Please note: Predictive text is still activated when the above feature is turned off. Hope this helped you out. Until the next time amigo.
