I just updated to iOS 9, and I noticed that the built-in dictionaries, I previously used, aren't working. I had used American English, British English, and Apple Dictionary. Now, when I try to define any word, I get a "No definition found" error. The dictionaries I previously used show a blue circle (while all the others show the cloud download icon).

Sounds like a bug to me. Not even iOS is completely immune to them, even after a long public beta period. So, not a lot that you can do other than wait for iOS 9.0.1 and hope that it will fix that issue with the dictionary.

Any ideas if this has been fixed in 9.3.3, I tried all the suggestions in tried all the suggestions in [this answer] (apple.stackexchange.com/q/210483/10733) with no luck. – Deesbek Aug 5 at 21:08

I was so sad when this happened to me because I practically have no vocabulary😂 It's an easy fix though you go to settings->general->reset->reset keyboard dictionary.

Trust me it won't do anything bad. I freaked out when I saw you have to reset it but you only have to reset the dictionary keyboard to work. A plus is that it still has your dictionaries downloaded and ready to go after you've reset it😊

That doesn't fix the downloaded dictionaries that define words, only the user dictionary which affects spelling / autocorrect. – Dan Sep 21 '15 at 2:38

I was also facing the same issue...just go to Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings. This will solve your problem.
