Odd thing with an iPhone5

[Druk]

So... it got it's latest update (8.02?) recently and that came with a new and useful predictive text format whereby it would suggest several words on a line above the keys. For some reason that has suddenly reverted to the older 'one word in a box' format. Any ideas how to get the new format back please?

Thanks GVM . My predictive was switched to 'on' but I switched it off then on again and all is now as it was.

Grrreat.

What's the emoji key mentioned in that post?

If you haven't already got emoji keyboard set up, go into settings, then general, then keyboards and add another keyboard, find emoji in the list and add it, access it from a button on the bottom left of the qwerty keyboard. To return to qwerty hit the button in the same place.

Don't add emojis to text messages to anyone without an iPhone though, it doesn't work on their phone and just shows up as random characters, as I've had to tell my wife numerous times.
