Autocomplete
A feature that predicts the rest of a word or sentence you are typing based on common language patterns.
In Plain English
Autocomplete is like a helpful co-pilot who finishes your sentences when you pause. It looks at the letters you have already typed and guesses what usually comes next. While older versions just guessed single words, modern AI can guess entire phrases. For instance, typing "Looking forward to" might prompt the suggestion "seeing you."
Real-World Example
When you type "Happy birth" in a text message and your phone suggests the word "day".
