      Of all the most offensive words and slurs, Apple made sure to also block the phrase “iMessage isn’t working”

      what the fuck

      I know I’m naive about some things, but this is just… the fuck. changing the word before the most recently swiped word, because together it forms a blocked phrase? that’s just fucked up.

      I’m ashamed to say that I truly never thought about the keyboard no longer being safe from interference.

      like okay I get that it won’t suggest harmful phrases, sure, maybe I can accept that. but to retroactively edit your inputs… that’s just fucked up.

        It’s consistently done that using names with unusual spellings since nearly day 1 - I fought tooth and nail with autocorrect on my iPhone 3GS and finally turned the damned thing off.

        NGL, it slowed me down a whole bunch, but also forced me to take my word game up, which I kinda like, actually.

        I’ve not used auto-correct for years, I feel it’s the way to go if one wants to avoid this whole word edit fiasco.
