Windows 10 will stop offering Rinna and Japanese Address suggestions

 After August 13, 2020, Windows 10 users will no longer be able to access the Rinna suggestion service and the Japanese Address suggestion service. As a result, Microsoft will stop providing Windows 10 users with suggestions by Rinna the AI social chatbot, or through the Japanese Address suggestion service this week. Microsoft has confirmed these developments in its official support document.

“Rinna and Japanese Address suggestion service for Microsoft Japanese IME will end on August 13th, 2020. As of that date, Microsoft will no longer provide suggestions by Rinna or through the Japanese Address suggestion service,” Microsoft explains.

For now, settings for these two suggestion services are accessible in Windows 10. But after August 13, suggestions will not be provided even if the feature is turned on.
