Define feature not working

#1

Post by mikelantz »

Noticed that the "define" function when highlighting a word no longer works in my Gospel Library. Running app version 6.0.0 12161 on iPad and iPhone IOS software version 15.0 What should I do?

Apple changed its Look Up functionality in iOS/iPadOS 15. Until the developers are able to find a fix, a workaround is to go to iOS Settings > Siri & Search, scroll to "Content from Apple," and toggle off "Show in Look Up."

OK, tried your suggested workaround, but still not results. I'll hold for the upcoming fix. Thanks

Any update as to when the "Define" feature will be restored? Frustrating that still cannot define words in the books, etc. being read in the Gospel Library. Have you ever tried to read Jesus the Christ without some dictionary help?

Thank you SO much!. It took me a long time to find “CONTENT FROM APPLE” I guess because it wasn’t highlighted.

The workaround worked for me for a few weeks, but my Define function has again stopped working within Gospel Library, even though “Show in Lookup” is still turned off. Now I have to open a separate dictionary app, type in the word, read the definition, and then return to Gospel Library to continue reading. Please fix this issue ASAP. it has now been many months since it stopped working. Of all the scriptures, we need the Define function most when studying the Old Testament.

I had same issue and nothing worked above. I went to Settings > Siri & Search > Siri & Dictation History and selected option Delete Siri & Dictation History. That resolved the issue.
