Microsoft will stop finishing your sentences in Word and Outlook
Predictive text remains available, but users will have to invite it into their workflow
Microsoft is disabling text predictions by default in Word and Outlook across various platforms, including Windows, web, iOS, Android, and classic versions for Windows and Mac. The feature, which was introduced several years ago, aims to enhance user productivity by suggesting words and phrases as they type. However, some users found it intrusive and chose to disable it.
Microsoft acknowledged that the default on setting could be irritating for certain individuals and has now made the feature opt-in rather than opt-out. Users who still want text predictions can enable it through the applications' settings. The change reflects Microsoft's responsiveness to user feedback and a desire to provide more customization options for editing experiences.
