How to enable the iOS 12 thesaurus

Open Settings.

Press General.

Scroll down to Dictionary. Press it.

Select “American English: Oxford American Writer’s Thesaurus.”



Using the thesaurus


To use it, open a document in the word-processing or note-taking app of your choice, be it Pages, Google Docs, Ulysses, iA Writer, or many others. After that, find the word you’d like to change and select it.


You should see a “Look Up” option in the menu that pops up. (Its position will likely change depending on which app you’re using.) Press it.


You’ll see the dictionary options you have active from the previous steps at the top of the new screen that appears. The top listing will likely be the dictionary; the second will likely be the thesaurus. Click on the listing that says “Oxford American Writer’s Thesaurus” along the bottom.


And voilà. You’ll see a list of related words (that you may or may not believe are better). Unfortunately, you can’t simply plug in the new word by selecting it from the list; you’ll have to remember it and enter it into the document yourself.
