Xiaomi: Turn Next-Word Suggestions On or Off

Next-word suggestions is a text correction function built into the MIUI keyboard. It predicts the word that likely follows the one you just typed, based on sentence context rather than only the letters entered so far. When active, a tap on the suggestion bar inserts the predicted word instead of you typing it out.

This function sits inside the keyboard's correction engine, separate from basic autocorrect and emoji suggestions. If predictions feel wrong, slow, or distracting, turning the feature off stops MIUI from analyzing sentence context, while spelling correction keeps working as before.

To change the setting, open Tap on Settings ➔ Tap on Additional settings ➔ Tap on Languages & input ➔ Tap on Manage keyboards ➔ Tap on Settings ➔ Tap on Text correction ➔ Enable or disable Next-word suggestions.

Disabling it makes sense if predictions repeatedly suggest the wrong word for technical terms, names, or a second language you type often. Keep it enabled if you mostly write everyday messages, since it usually speeds up typing once the keyboard learns your habits. Turning it off does not affect autocorrect, emoji predictions, or the keyboard dictionary.
