Many iPhone users may have encountered such a problem: when using the built-in keyboard, after entering certain letter combinations, the saved phone number will be automatically displayed above the keyboard. While this feature is convenient to users to a certain extent, it can sometimes lead to misuse or privacy leakage. So, how do you turn this feature off?Below, we will provide you with three solutions.
1. Check and turn off the address book synchronization function.
Open your phone's Settings app
Tap your Apple ID at the top to go to the account settings page
Click on "iCloud" and find the "Contacts" option
Turn off syncing for Contacts.
Doing so will prevent the iPhone from associating the phone number in the address book with the keypad input. But please note that when you turn off contacts syncing, your contact data will no longer be synced with iCloud.
2. Clear the keyboard dictionary.
Open your phone's Settings app
Click "General" to enter the general settings page
Click "Reset" and find the "Reset Keyboard Dictionary" option;
Click "Reset Keyboard Dictionary" to clear it.
Clearing the keyboard dictionary removes all words that the keyboard remembers, including previously entered phone numbers. Note, however, that this will also clear other custom vocabularies.
3. Reset the keyboard settings.
Open your phone's Settings app
Click "General" to enter the general settings page
Click on "Keyboard" and find the "Keyboard Settings" option;
Tap "Reset Keyboard Settings" to reset.
Resetting the keyboard settings will restore all keyboard-related settings to their factory state, including turning off the automatic display of phone numbers. Note, however, that this will also reset other keyboard settings, such as custom shortcuts, etc.
The above three methods can solve the problem that the iPhone's built-in keyboard always displays the phone number. You can choose the right method to operate according to your needs. Hope this article helps!
