Apple’s Improved Autocorrect Feature: Swear Words Made Easier on iPhone with iOS 17

Apple’s Improved Autocorrect Feature Makes Typing on Your iPhone Easier.

If you’re tired of your iPhone keyboard always autocorrecting your swear words, you’re going to love Apple’s improved and more sophisticated autocorrect feature — which makes cussing so much easier. Now, your iPhone will finally let you swear to your heart’s content.

Introducing the Transformer Language Model in iOS 17

The iPhone’s keyboard on iOS 17 leverages a transformer model, similar to what OpenAI (the company behind ChatGPT) uses in its own language models, to learn from what you type on your keyboard to better predict what you might say next, whether it’s a name, phrase, or curse word.

If you’ve downloaded iOS 17 (here’s our full guide on getting the latest software update) and want to learn more about typing on your phone, here’s everything you need to know about autocorrect.

Autocorrect’s Accuracy Has Improved

As mentioned before, autocorrect now fixes mistakes for you in a more accurate manner by taking advantage of a new transformer language model in iOS 17.

A transformer language model is a complex software program designed to handle language in a sophisticated way. It’s trained using specific data to learn context and patterns, mimicking how humans think and speak. This technology allows for improved accuracy and customized autocorrect options.

Note: This technology is only available on the English, French, and Spanish keyboards.

You Can Now Curse Without Being Corrected

Your keyboard will add curse words and other explicit language that you often use to your personal vocabulary list. It learns your usage in each application and provides tailored autocorrections, suggestions, and predictive text.

If you want to write a curse word, you’ll no longer have to worry about it being corrected to something else. Autocorrect will respect your language choices.

Inline Predictive Text

The new transformer language model also provides single- and multi-word predictions directly within the text field you’re typing in. For example, as you start typing a TV show’s name, autocorrect will offer inline predictions to speed up your typing.

If you receive inline predictive text and want to complete it without continuing to type, simply hit the space bar to enter the predictive text into the text field.

Note: This feature is only available on the iPhone 12 and later.

Easier Editing of Autocorrections

Autocorrect isn’t perfect, and sometimes you may get autocorrected when you don’t want to be. On iOS 17, newly autocorrected words and sentences appear temporarily underlined, making it easy to identify corrections. If you’re unhappy with a correction, you can tap on the underlined word or words to view what you originally wrote and explore other autocorrect options.
