Can You Turn Off Predictive Text in Microsoft Copilot?

Copilot currently has no setting to disable predictive text, so the only supported path is sending feedback through Copilot and Microsoft’s community channels.

Current status of predictive text in Copilot

No. Based on the available Microsoft response, there is currently no direct setting or supported option to turn off predictive text in Microsoft Copilot.

• The feature cannot be disabled through a known Copilot setting.
• This applies to the reported Copilot experience rather than a specific Office app control.
• Your expected result today should be clarity, not a hidden workaround: there is no confirmed off switch.

You can submit feedback about predictive text behavior from within Copilot.

What is not supported

There is no documented menu path or toggle to disable predictive text outright.

If you cannot find a predictive text switch in Copilot, that matches the current Microsoft guidance.

This topic concerns Microsoft Copilot specifically. the documented behavior describes the reported case on Chrome and Windows 10 asking for a way to stop predictive text, and the official reply confirms that no direct disable option is available at this time.

Platform context

Copilot spans several environments, which helps explain why a single simple control is not documented in the source response.

Copilot may appear in Windows experiences, but available documentation does not identify a Windows-side toggle for predictive text.

The reported use case was Chrome on Windows 10, which aligns with the web experience.

The same product family extends to mobile, which adds complexity to feedback and support routing.

The response also names Copilot Pro, but still does not provide a predictive text off option.

What the source establishes

How to send feedback

Because there is no off switch, the usable workflow is to submit a product request from inside Copilot and confirm you reached the correct feedback entry point.

Open Copilot and look to the lower-right corner

While using Copilot, monitor the lower-right area of the interface. The source specifically identifies that location as the place to look for the feedback entry point.

• Use the same Copilot session where predictive text is bothering you.
• Expected result: you can identify the area Microsoft points to for submitting feedback.

Submit feedback about predictive text behavior

Use the in-product feedback option to tell Microsoft that predictive text is distracting and that you want a disable setting. This is the main action supported by the source.

• Be specific that you want an option to turn predictive text off.
• Expected result: your request is sent through Microsoft’s feedback channel.

Additional place to share suggestions

If you want your request visible in a broader discussion space, the source also points to Microsoft’s Copilot community hub.

Use the Microsoft Copilot community hub

Microsoft also references a separate discussion space where users and developers discuss Copilot suggestions. You can post your request there to support the case for an optional predictive text toggle.

Open Copilot for Microsoft 365 - Microsoft support guidance Hub and share a clear, reproducible description of the behavior you want changed.

Verification step: after using the in-product feedback area and optionally posting in the community hub, you have completed every source-backed action currently available for this request.

Copilot cannot currently turn predictive text off

The source-backed answer is straightforward: there is no direct disable option for predictive text in Microsoft Copilot right now. Your best next step is to submit feedback from the lower-right area of Copilot and reinforce the request in Microsoft’s Copilot community channels.

Use WPS Office as a Free Microsoft Office Alternative

Use Word, Excel, and PPT for FREE

WPS cannot change Microsoft-side Copilot controls, cloud behavior, account settings, or product features. It can still be useful when your actual work is local document editing rather than Copilot interface management.

If predictive text in Microsoft Copilot is interrupting your writing flow, you can move compatible local work into WPS Office for DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and PDF tasks. Its interface is familiar, lightweight, and practical for drafting, reviewing, annotating PDFs, and handling everyday office files without depending on Microsoft’s Copilot text box behavior.

• Use Writer, Spreadsheets, Presentation, and built-in PDF tools for local files that are compatible with Microsoft formats.
• Relevant WPS AI features can help with rewriting, summarizing, and drafting inside supported WPS workflows.
• Compatibility is strong for common DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and PDF work, but advanced Microsoft-only cloud features, tenant controls, and Copilot-specific behaviors do not transfer.
