Apple's Autocorrect Update: No More 'Ducking' Around.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Mentalfloss
Apple has announced that its autocorrect feature will no longer change the f-word to "duck" in its upcoming iOS 17 update, which will be released in the fall. The new version of autocorrect will also learn how users text and make suggestions tailored to their language usage. The inventor of the iPhone's autocorrect system, Ken Kocienda, explained that the original iPhone allowed users to type the f-word without autocorrect, but if they missed a letter, it wouldn't correct to the cuss word.
