- Open the Settings
- Tap on Advanced
- Tap on Delete learned words and data

Manage personal dictionary
The dictionary on the Xiaomi smartphone is a feature that allows you to store words and assign a shortcut to them. If you type the shortcut or short command while writing text or messages, we get the word suggestion in the suggestion bar. Short sentences can also be stored and recalled via short command.
Note: We can select the desired keyboard language before creating our own shortcuts. If we want to use the command for any previously selected language of the keyboard, we can select "All Languages".












- Open the Settings
- Tap on Additional settings

- Choose a language or tap on All languages
- Tap on Add

Pin the keyboard
We can pin the keyboard of the Xiaomi smartphone to one side, which means that the keyboard is completely attached to the left or right side of the Xiaomi smartphone, making it much more comfortable to use with just one hand. We can choose between Left-handed or Right-handed mode.

- Open the Settings
- Tap on Preferences
- Tap on One-handed mode
- Choose Right-/Left-handed mode or Off to disable the feature

- Tap on Languages & input
- Tap on Manage keyboards
- Open the Settings
- Tap on Advanced
- Enable or disable Share usage statistics
Key long-press delay
The default duration of the keystroke until, for example, a symbol is inserted is exactly 300ms on the Xiaomi smartphone, and the duration can be set from a minimum of 100ms to a maximum of 700ms, depending on personal preferences.









- Open the Settings
- Tap on Additional settings
- Tap on Languages & input
- Tap on Manage keyboards
- Open the Settings
- Tap on Preferences
