My predictive keyboard feature worked for an hour and its dissapeared .. anyone else? - Ive submitted it as a bug
 
I somehow made it go away too and cant figure out how to get it back. It was awesome too.

Edit: Figured it out. Hold down on the smiley face and a menu pops up with an option to turn it back on.

Probably already answered but if you grab it and pull it down it disappears. You do the same to bring it back.
 
Where is the smiley face on the keyboard... I cannot find it..

So that didn't work for me too, basically what you need to do is go back into settings > general > keyboard > then make sure "auto correction" and "predictive typed string" is on. That should do the trick, if its on try turing it on and off again and see if that helps.

The "smiley" keyboard key is the new "globe" key down next to the space bar if you have emoji icons installed. It used to be a "globe" (which was the international keyboard key) and now it's a smiley face.

The predictive screen (as someone suggested) can be displayed or hidden simply by swiping up on the small bar right above the keyboard. To hide it, you kinda do the same thing but in reverse, but it's really iffy right now in B2 as to the reliability of that working.
 
another way to enable and disable the predictive section is to swipe up or down on the space where it should be. The grey bar under the messages/but above the keyboard for example. when predictive is on, swipe ON the middle option of the predictive space and go down, and it will collapse. swipe UP from the t/y keys and it will come back.

this works for those that haven't yet, nor wanted to enable additional languages on their iOS keyboard (for those saying they don't have a smiley face, or other world like icon next to the microphone/123 key)

EDIT: just re-read jwehman1's post. he says the same thing. oops. but the stability on my 5s for the enable/disable swipe is 100% functional.

It’s still a globe if you have more that one language keyboard that is not emoji keyboard activated.
 
How are you guys finding the performance of the predictive text? I'm looking forward to having it!
