As a nod to the buzz surrounding generative AI, Apple introduced inline text prediction to iPhones, iPads, and Macs. While useful on mobile devices for quick typing, some may find it disruptive on Macs. Fortunately, it's easy to disable. On iOS/iPadOS 17.2 or later, navigate to Settings > General > Keyboard and toggle off "Show Predictions Inline" (leave Predictive Text on). For macOS 14.2 Sonoma or later, access System Settings > Keyboard, click Edit under the Text Input header, disable "Show inline predictive text," and click Done.
