iOS keyboards that don't censor "bad words" (lemmy.world)

submitted 5 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Does anyone have any recommendations for alternate keyboard apps on iOS that don’t censor my less-than-polite speech? Having to type certain words out letter by letter is annoying enough since swipe texting won’t spell them out. And lately it seems like even after I type that stuff out, autocorrect will still go back and change those words. Tired of my phone trying to play Puritan Nanny.

Tried just googling the question, but the only results I get are how to add curse words to the text replacement list, and I’d rather not have to go program in every individual curse word.

I can't imagine how some would prefer such workarounds over something like Android where you are still in some aspects restricted but still free to do as you please.
Just tried with the swipe keyboard on GBoard. Swiped "Fucking" and it spelt it no problem.

You can add swear words to the dictionary on iOS, you don't have to add them as contacts.

I don't need to add anything on my swipe board.
I know it's a personal thing but besides the design language I can't see anything positive about iOS...
But tbf, I am not the target audience anyway since I don't use either swipe nor auto-complete.
