I try to not look at the predictive Kanji but sometimes I do and I consider this cheating. I like to use a native keyboard like the Kana one, is there a way to disable it?

For WaniKani? WaniKani has its own built-in IME, so you just need to type in English.
On Android at least Iām not aware of a way to disable it. They donāt have a āgaijin drilling kanji modeā unfortunately.
In the long run I donāt think it matters too much though, Iāve ācheatedā all the way to level 60 and I donāt regret it personally.
In my keyboard settings (iPhone) it has a āpredictive textā switch, but only for the English keyboard. Kana only has āflick onlyā and āsmart fullwidth spaceā options.
I swear Iāve used applications in the past that somehow disable it programmatically but I canāt prove it. Like @simias , I find it easy to just not look at it so I wouldnāt always notice if itās there or not.
But I donāt know of any āuserā way to do it and Iām not finding anything in a cursory google/youtube search either.
It does, but it also accepts hiragana from your own IME. When I want to use my phone, I make fewer typos using the flick keyboard, and as a bonus I get flick keyboard practice. (at the cost of having to switch keyboards back and forth from kana to English to enter readings/meanings respectively)
Smouldering Durtles on Android can switch the keyboard automatically using language hints (although eventually I switched the meanings to Anki mode completely).
