You caught my attention with the apple censoring the word genocide thing, so I’m typing this mainly to test it. On iOS 26.6.1 using the English (Canada) keyboard and locale, I can swipe to type “genocide” normally. Do you have a source on the censorship claim?

(Not trying to derail or take away from the rest of your post, I’m just very curious about this part)

    Just personal experience. It lets you do it, it doesn't let me do it. What kind of source do you want, like a screen recording?

    Could also be context. iOS's keyboard absolutely censors the word "yourself" if the previous word is "kill". You can trace type "yourself" in many other contexts, and you can trace type "kill" in some (not all), but if that was your last word, "yourself" will have to be tapped out, one letter at a time. There are a few examples of it censoring things like that. (And good reasons, sure, but if you're not bullying someone and maybe you're in Writer or a text editor writing a story, it's kinda weird.)

    I was hoping it was documented somewhere with like affected versions and shit, but ig that’s a longshot lol.

    Thanks for telling me about the “kys” censorship, I wasn’t aware of that one. I’ve only run into it not liking words like “cunt” before, never multi-word phrases

    Yeah, a lot of people talk about how bad the keyboard is, but I don't see a lot of examples. When people do give examples — or at least this has been my experience — it's often replied to with "well it works on my end". I think we can all agree the iOS keyboard is shit. And I think anyone who uses both iPhone and Android (Gboard) recognises that the Android keyboards don't go as hard on the censorship/autocorrect as iOS does. The iOS keyboard takes the same "the user is an idiot" philosophy the OS itself tends to take. Yeah, I'm a techie who uses an iPhone, I wouldn't call myself dumb (though I can list a lot of smart things I don't know, like programming, and networking, and many sciences)... but I like iPhone because it's dumb and simple. I recommend it to people who want their phone to be easy, which is a big plus if you work in tech. My Android phone is confusing to people. I do weird shit with it. I use a launcher that doesn't resemble other launchers. You swipe down for the app drawer and up for widgets (I could reverse this but that is how it acts by default). It's got a weird name, and it's kinda inspired by iOS/macOS Spotlight. Can't be arsed to remember the name right now and the phone is off.
