Once downloaded it'll be able to define words.
That's true for when you're using the keyboard. But if you're on reading material like a news article it doesn't work. For example on your comment, I highlighted a word to define. But when I tap "Define", it does nothing. That has to be a bug, because it used to work. Here's what I mean.
Tapping "define" did nothing.
