AI Summary

A researcher discovered that iOS blocks more than 100,000 words and phrases from its autocomplete and swipe‑typing features across every major language. The list includes terms that the system automatically filters out when a user begins typing. Despite the block, users can still enter the words by typing each letter individually. The study highlights the extent of Apple’s content filtering in its keyboard system.
