11 best autofill texting games for when you're so bored you could cry
Predictive text is at best a time saver, and at worst a life destroyer.
Most phones now have some function that predicts phrases or words while texting. Apple, for example, uses predictive text "based on your past conversations, writing style, and even websites you visit in Safari." The idea is to make it easier and quicker to send messages, but the algorithm is often finicky or downright embarrassing.

However, some clever people have created prompts to turn this tool into a fun game that often says a little too much about your texting habits.
Play this texting game with your friends, but just be aware what it may reveal about your phone habits.
1. "I drink"
The term "drinking problem" doesn't begin to cover some of the things predictive text told them they were consuming.
"I drink" then hit the middle predictive text:
I drink a lot and I have to poop till the end and I have a dollar on the battle of my heart for the rest and my life will never stop the game.— CinnamonToastKen (@cinnamontoastk) July 4, 2018
I drink cactus and I will be there at the same time as the other one

I drink my water bottle of vodka in the car so I’m glad I did it but I wanna do you..... oh god

2. Horoscope mayhem
Hank Green prompted his followers to let predictive text be their zodiac guide. The results were as disastrous as you could imagine.
PREDICTIVE TEXT HOROSCOPE:

3. "I'm marrying an"
This prompt led to more than a few marriages to inanimate objects.
Type "i'm marrying an" and let your keyboard reveal it
i'm marrying an idiot— 🧞♂️🧞♂️ (@YassMaryam) January 15, 2019
I'm marrying an avocado.
— ◟̽◞̽ Larry enthusiast 💚💙 (@1Dupdate28) January 19, 2019
I’m marrying an alien instead of a zombie warrior with a great way to get my hair done.
— Tomb Svalborg (@tombness) January 21, 2019
4. You zodiac sign plus "and that's why"
A lot of these tweets were strangely on brand for the different signs.
Stealing this from Russian twitter:
Type “I am a *your zodiac sign* and that’s why...” and let your autofill finish it.
I am a cancer and that’s why I am so sorry I didn’t know what to do— CAKE MOM 🔪 (@motherofcakes) March 1, 2019

5. "Sex is"
Several people ended up being told that sex is "a great place to work" by their phones.
type “sex is” and let ur keyboard finish your sentence
mine: sex is your favorite place in your mind— ً (@grandegoalsx) February 25, 2019
Sex is a good place to work for a week and a half a week ago and we have a problem with the heating and heating and heating and heating and heating and heating and heating and heating 😂😂😂😂 wtf

— 𝐦𝐢𝐚 💍 fb or i unf (@notearstocryy) February 25, 2019
6. Epitaphs
This thread is the perfect blend of morbid and hilarious for the dark humorist in your life.
How about we use predictive text to write our own epitaphs?
Write “Here lies [YOUR NAME]. [preferred pronoun] was...” and let your phone finish the rest.
Mine is:
Here lies Alexander Zalben. He was clearly not wrong.— Alex Zalben (@azalben) January 1, 2018
Here lies Stephani Adair. She was going to call you after work today and will not be able to.
— Stephani (@stephani06) January 1, 2018
Here lies Josh Mankiewicz. He washed the whole house.
— Josh Mankiewicz (@JoshMankiewicz) January 1, 2018
7. Introduce yourself
Some were spot on, and some couldn't have been more wrong.
my name is Eve
I was born in the UK
my age is a bit more than I expected
I like to see whales

I like to see what you gotta do about it— Castrator Ginsberg (@Jostle_in) February 16, 2019
8. Predictive valentines
Turns out artificial intelligence isn't as romantic as we thought... shocker.
Time for predictive valentines! Type "Roses are red" and let predictive text finish your poem. (It's free verse.)
Mine is: "Roses are red and white and yellow in the essay that I am referring to as the main source for this." Extremely romantic!— Wren Wallis (@invisibleinkie) February 10, 2019
Roses are red wine beer and cheese fries for lunch.
— Travis Vigneau (@Daily_Fails) February 12, 2019
Roses are red and white in the middle of the recent change in Federal law regarding Marijuana
Hmm ok— Gwenagain (@gwenthing) February 11, 2019
9. "Hey look ma I made"
We're sure many mothers were less than impressed by these responses.
type “hey look ma i made” then let predictive text determine the rest
hey look ma i made you happy and proud to have a wonderful life— 💀mama rae💀 115 (@anathema_hxlsey) February 4, 2019
Hey look ma I made it home early so I’m just sitting in the middle of the floor.
— Giana🌱 (@melsrockcandy) February 4, 2019
hey look ma i made my afternoon look like a beautiful man
wtfff???— lily (@BoveeLily) February 4, 2019
10. 2019 goals
If these are any prediction of how 2019 will go then no one is safe.
How about we predictive text our 2019 goals?
Just type “In 2019 I am going to” and then mash that center button.
Here’s mine:
“In 2019 I am going to the store.”
Seems legit.— Alex Zalben (@azalben) January 1, 2019
In 2019 I am going to go back to the house to get my money and then I will be back. Um ok....
— Mirna Valerio (@TheMirnavator) January 3, 2019
In 2019 I’m going tomorrow to get to the hotel room for a few days and I will have a schedule and then I just got to go go (this is my life lol)
— Barclay Stockett (@BarclayStockett) January 3, 2019
11. "You should follow me on Twitter because"
Most of these are not good reasons.
Type "you should follow me on Twitter because" and use predictive text to finish the sentence
— 🌻Elle 🐈 Gato🌻 (@ellle_em) January 6, 2019
You should follow me on Twitter because you have a good idea of how long it takes to get a couple of things from the science store. 😂
— Anita Pearson (@pommyanita) January 7, 2019
You should follow me on Twitter because you are unable to find the receipt and I will send you a cheat list for your kindness. 😅👍

Happy texting!
