I recently moved to a new phone and am not seeing the same behaviour as my
old one when typing my home postcode.

The old phone would suggest the second half of my postcode after having
typed the first half, but this no longer happens. Is there a trick to get
this working? I had hoped after a month or so it would have learned it?

For non-UK folk, postcodes look like this: W1A 1AA or EH1 2NG. The space is
obligatory so an autocorrect suggestion for the second half would be very
convenient.

Is it? I've always thopught so, but the last couple of years rarely
bother (online forms, maps search, etc). Seems to work just as well in
those situations.

Doesn't solve the issue, but you culd do a text replacement ('pc' ->
'LM6 4EW' sort of thing).

In what app?

Maybe the new phone needs to see the full code a few times before it is
"trained" up on the code?

Or is it depending on the address to "get" the full code from the post
office (as it would here, Canada).

Depending on the app, here, entering the first 3 letters (say H1M) will
locate that area on a map and continuing will "zoom in" on the actual
location. This works with Google Maps for example.

Any really, but as it's mostly for online forms Firefox is the most common
use case.

Ah yes, I'm not meaning any geographic app. All text based.

Several forms baulk without the space IME.

That's a possibility.
