Keyboard won't learn new words or writing style?

[Anni94]

On my Xperia keyboard settings, I have selected "Correct misspellings automatically or get word suggestions" and "Learn and back up my writing style". In "Use my writing style" I have selected "Learn from Messaging" and "Backup and sync" and in "My words" I have many words the phone has saved.

BUT when I type in any app, the keyboard doesn't recognise any of the learnt words and when I check in the settings option on the keyboard, and select "My words", there are no words there!

I didn't have the problem 2 weeks ago - how can I fix this?

is there any way i can make it learn words from other apps such as facebook messenger as i barely use email and messaging

Hello,
Go to keyboard settings -> Use my writing style -> Clear language Data
Then try to start typing your own words, it will save all the new words which you type
Hope this helps.
Thanks!

So I've been having thermae problem for the past few months, and following thus advice I reset the keyboard and not only did it fix the issue, but it somehow revived all my saved words from somewhere. I ticked the "backup my words" option ao hopefully it'll keep doing this from now on when it breaks next time

Anybody has an idea how to manually transfer saved words? There must be a folder where Xperia Keyboard saves them by default

Is it just me or is the z5 crap? I've bought sony for years but this is worst phone ever.  Multiple faults,  no text learning,  faulty touch screen,  draining better, mobile data slider won't switch on and so it goes on. Been in and out of repair shop.  Truly awful and no support from sony. Will definitely never buy another sony phone - if anyone is browsing and thinking about what new phone,  cross sony off your list

This fixed it for me! As soon as I cleared data all my words suddenly returned.

Keyboard settings > Use my writing style > Learn from Messaging. This fixed the problem for me.

For some reason the permission was removed and I had to give permission again. After that all my saved/learned words returned and started learning new words again .
