Why won't my iPhone define words using its built-in dictionary any longer?

Do you see what I mean?

Go to Settings>General>International>Language
Change the language to one of Apples supported languages like Spanish or British English.
Go to your notepad, type "test", press hold, select the word, and click the "define" that now appears.
This will tell you there is no current dictionary, and prompt for one to be downloaded.
Assure you are on a stable Wi-Fi network, and hit download.
Once complete, go back to your language settings and switch back to your native language.
Enjoy your dictionary feature without having to "reset" your phone.
Hope this helps!

    Your iPhone is connected to your computer but are you using iTunes to try to update or are you looking at the Settings>General>Software update button in the phone?

  • Why won't my iphone 6 64gb phone or my iphone 5 ever get 3g or 4g?  It always only shows LTE

    Why won't my iphone 6 64gb phone or my iphone 5 ever get 3g or 4g?  It always shows LTE instead of 4g.  I will be sitting next to someone with the same phone and service and they have 4g and I have LTE.

    Yup, you want LTE all the time.   As Loquat  stated, LTE = 4G
    when you are sitting next to someone and the phone says 4G, it is a ATT or T mobile connection.  They have fake or faux 4G that is a step down from LTE.  It really is 3G+ but they came up with the fake 4G.  This is why Verizon put LTE to indicate it is real 4G technology, not hype.

  • Why won't my iphone exit out of my settings or allow me to shut it off or lock it?

    Why won't my iphone exit out of my settings or allow me to shut it off or lock it?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
