It's 2026, and I still can't believe Apple won't change the most frustrating thing about iOS (www.techradar.com)

It's baffling that, after nearly 20 years of ios, Apple still won't let you easily place apps where you want them.

It definitely doesn’t want to type ‘kill yourself’ and will suggest anything but the intended words until you manually type them out, and I’ve noticed it doing the same with other violent words/phrases, as well the well-known ‘fuck’ -> ‘duck’ stuff.

That said, it does adapt over time with usage and my iPhone will now happily curse like a sailor without putting up a fuss.

No issues typing Android here either, so that one doesn’t seem universal.

    Yeah it's weird, it'll let me type "shit" or "bitch" most of the time, but not always and not too often.

    I have to reset my keyboard about once a year because of dumb shit. The current dumb shit is apparently "the" is a bad word. It's fine capitalised, and it will change "the" to "The" a lot. Or it'll change it to "they" or "then". I have no idea why.

    I really wish iOS had an "I'm an adult and I don't have kids and I also don't use social media" mode, but that's a very rare niche among their user base. Still, I think most of us would prefer it wouldn't second guess us and change what we type? Because that's really fucking dystopian.
