auto-suggestions
Text prediction options
Auto-suggestions are the words or phrases a device or application offers as you type, attempting to predict what you want to say.
Your phone's keyboard generates auto-suggestions based on context and your typing history: I hate when auto-suggestions change "duck" to something else.
Search engines offer auto-suggestions in the form of popular queries beginning with whatever you've typed so far.
