Apple’s New Philosophy: No More Auto-correcting Profanity
Apple has come a long way from its early days when it used to advocate squeaky clean language on its products. The iPhone was deemed too expensive for the “riff-raff” who would use “vulgar language.” But the times have changed, and so has Apple’s stance on cursing. Now, the tech giant is loosening up a bit and ditching its auto-correcting profanity feature. Instead, we can freely type in whatever words we want, swearing or not. So, sit back, relax, and be yourselves, my fellow potty-mouths!! Listen, I love Jesus but I swear a lot!
Apple is known for going hard on the censorship game, even going as far as to ban adult content from its App Store. But it seems that the company is loosening its grip on filtering profanity. The impending change has been met with a mix of reactions online, with some people praising the move, saying it’s a long time coming, while others lament the loss of the hilariously autocorrected messages that have undeniably brought a ton of laughs to our conversations.
This is where Apple’s new feature comes in handy.
Users will be able to type what they mean, with the keyboard learning and adapting to their individual language preferences. Apple is finally catching up and meeting the expectations of its users, who expect a greater degree of customization on their devices.
This move shows that Apple is willing to listen to its users, staying ahead of the curve by allowing the freedom of speech in a world that’s ever-changing. So go ahead, swear away, and let your iPhones become a mirror of your personality. After all, we were never ever saying DUCK!
