The life hacker found a way to type emoticons instead of words, without switching the keyboard. It's all about the predictive dialing function, which does not work for everyone.

For the first time, Apple introduced the predictive typing feature back during the release of iOS 8 in 2014. Russian-speaking users had to wait for this feature for a whole year. Finally, with the release of iOS 9, QuickType received support for the great and the mighty.

The essence of predictive typing is to display an additional panel with hints and final variants of the word entered by the user. It also offers autocorrect words for smiles.

But a number of users cannot turn on the auto-change of words for emoticons. In the iOS settings, there is no item responsible for enabling the function. How to be? Train iOS predictive typing yourself.

1. Open "Settings" → "General" → "Keyboard" and make sure that the slider next to the item "Predictive set" is turned on.

2. Now open the Notes application. In order for the predictive set to replace words with the corresponding smiles, you need to enter several phrases in which one of the smiley words occurs.

In the sentences you come up with, replace the word "sun" with the appropriate emoticon by selecting it on the emoji keyboard. It is necessary to write several sentences and phrases in which the word "sun" will be both a smiley and directly a word.

You will have to play around with such phrases until the emoji suggestions for the words you enter appear on the predictive typing panel. Some of them are: "coffee", "running", "dumbbells", "cat" and so on.

After such forced training, predictive typing will automatically recognize words, turning them into emoticons, and you no longer have to open the emoji keyboard.
