above the keyboard is a bar that has 3 to 9 (if you expand it) words used for shortcut searching. I have the auto replace button on but it doesn't work all the time. How do I remove/replace words that I won't use again since the auto replace doesn't work on all the words. It seems it is the first 3 words (which are the words that are seen in the bar) that auto replace will not replace and I don't need them as shortcuts anymore.

Hi

The history that you are seeing is held within the keyboard app that you have installed. To clear this,

  • Go to the Settings app in Android and selection Applications.
  • Scroll down the list to your keyboard application and (on selecting it) choose Clear data. Note: This will clear the app history completely.

I hope that this helps.
