This is really welcome, long overdue and I can confirm that it works.

Here is how to stop your iPhone from autocorrecting swear words. It’s not a simple toggle switch in Settings, unfortunately — but it’ll only take you a few minutes to fix it once and for all.

Apple presents an annoyingly family-friendly image. It doesn’t want the iPhone to autocorrect a swear word to protect the innocence of children. It doesn’t want porn on the App Store (even if it’s a tap away in Safari).

Luckily, for the adults in the room, it’s all surface-level means of protection. Here’s how you can get your iPhone to let you swear again.

Droid needs that autocorrect issue option, because sometimes a swear word is the only word that fits in a text discussion. :rolleyes:

Droid did an update recently, and it's worse then autocorrect challenges; "they" made it harder to correct your misspelled words without a bunch of text underlined and hard to clear before you fix your mistake. It's driving my dd and I nuts; she has a droid too. I would really like for the Android people to leave the good parts alone.:rolleyes:
