Apple has finally addressed the autocorrect issue that has been annoying iPhone users for years[1][2][3]. Currently, when you enter a typo or key in an unrecognized word, Apple's iOS uses some onboard machine learning and references a library of frequent misspellings to automatically correct your mistake[2]. However, this has led to the autocorrecting of a certain popular swear word to "duck" or "ducking" when that's not what you meant to say[4][1]. In the new iOS 17, Apple's new iOS keyboard will learn your habits over time, fixing words that you frequently misspell and leaving words alone that you intentionally typed in[2]. It will also use AI to better predict your next word and provide improved autofill suggestions[2]. This means that the keyboard will learn the words you use most, including salty language, and provide personalized suggestions[3]. The new feature will fix the issue that has long irked iPhone users who, when typing out a common curse word, have had it immediately replaced with "duck"[3].
