    It’s intentional, and it’s censorship. Someone ought to make a comms app with inbuilt autocorrect that does the opposite and makes all your typos offensive instead.

      i don’t think it’s censorship so much as it is erring on the side of not inserting a fuck where it doesn’t belong.

        Some time ago I created an autocorrect to change (the d word) into “fuck” which is very problematic when the subject of our fowl friends comes up.

        It’s supposed to learn on how you adopt spellings you type. On iOS, it’s seemingly impossible to “teach” the OS you actually want to use profanity instead of birds.

          really? on Android i almost have the opposite problem. because my keyboard does learn from me, I have come close to using profanity (and straight up vulgarity) in very inappropriate situations.
