Apple's predictive text restrictions include 'Dictator Trump' and 'Sleepy Joe,' researcher finds

Key takeaways

Apple’s iOS keyboard contains a gray list of tens of thousands of words and phrases that are not suggested via autocomplete or swipe typing, including vulgar terms and politically charged phrases such as "dictator Trump" and "sleepy Joe."

• The list is undisclosed and includes vulgar, offensive, drug, sex, violence, and political terms.
• Users can still type any word manually; the list only blocks predictive suggestions.
• Apple stated the keyboard avoids inappropriate or offensive suggestions but did not comment on the list’s size or composition.
