autosuggestions

Software-offered text completions

Autosuggestions are the predictive text options that appear as you type on a phone, computer, or search engine, offering to complete your word or phrase: I accidentally sent a weird text because I tapped the wrong autosuggestion.

The feature learns from your typing habits, sometimes with embarrassing results.
