How do you add a word to the prediction dictionary?

If I type an unknown word, it gets underlined in red, indicating that it's a misspelled or unknown word. If I click on the word, I'm given some auto-correct options, none of which I want. But I don't see anything that will let me save the word for future use. How do I do that? My Android phone did it automatically, and I thought I read that you could do it on the iPhone too...

i don't believe you can. With my old Balckberry you could actually create your own dictionary and key combinations. I would tks and Thanks, would appear. Stuff like that I do miss.

Go to notes and type the word in 6 times.

You know... I thought you were just being a smart-ass, but that actually worked, lol... Thanks!

It's a learning dictionary. Thus it requires several typings of the word, but it does learn.

My phone must be an old dog. It can't even remember my last name.

iPhones will start using us instead of the other way around soon.

Yes, it is a learning dictionary. However, am I the only one that has spelled "the", "tge" so many times that it no longer corrects itself to "the" anymore? I always have to tap it and change it to "the", or every now and then I need to reset my predictive text dictionary.
Very annoying
