Is there no predictive texting on the Lumia 950????

[Windows Central Question]

Just received Lumia 950 and out of the box, there's no predictive texting at all! Nor can I find anywhere to advise me about getting it. The 925 predictive texting was very good - have we 'progressed' to having none at all on the latest MS whiz-bang phone?

My XL does, so there seems to be some other problem. Try a hard reset.

I'm in the same situation. Brand new Lumia 950, no predictive texting & Swype? Not there! Dictionary, autocorrect.... nothing! I already done the reset, complete reset. Thought something may have not been installed at the start! Nope!!! Really annoyed. But if I could even get swype!
Someone ... HELP!!! Will Nokia Lumia 950 get a software upgrade that includes predictive text or even better, Swype???

Settings->Time & Language->Keyboard

Then tap on the keyboard name in use (where it says 'tap to change')

From there, you can set up:
* Suggest text
* Highlight misspelt words
* Correct misspelt words
* Suggest emoticons
* Insert a space after I select a suggestion
* Insert a full stop after I double tap the space bar
* Capitalise the first letter of a sentence
* Type as I flick through letters (this is "Word Flow", or the Swype equivalent)
