Mobile Voice & Microsoft Teams - Suggestions Insert Non-Words

Prev Next
Issue:

While typing in Microsoft Teams on my Android device, the Teams text field predictive text suggestion gets incorporated into what I am typing (even though I didn't "tab") and inserts non-words into my text as I continue typing.

This can occur when Teams text predictions interfere with Mobile Voice's predictive text feature.


What to do:

You can disable Text Predictions in Teams:

  1. In the Teams mobile app, tap your profile picture to open a menu.
    Teams-tap-profile-pic
  2. Tap Settings.
    Teams-tap-settings
  3. Tap Messaging.
    Teams-tap-messaging

  4. Slide the toggle next to Text Predictions OFF (gray) to disable it.
    Teams-tap-text-predictions
  5. Once the Text Predictions setting is disabled you can close the Messaging and Settings screens by tapping the back arrow in the upper-left corner.
