Apple's predictive text reportedly blocks more than 100,000 words and phrases
New research indicates that Apple maintains a list of more than 100,000 words and phrases that its predictive text feature will not suggest or complete. As a result, users have to type these terms out in full themselves.
Why it matters
The report shows that keyboard suggestions many people rely on are shaped by restrictions set by the manufacturer. It also raises questions about the criteria used to choose which words are excluded.
Background
Predictive text on smartphones suggests words as a user types, so they can pick a suggestion instead of typing each word in full. Tech companies commonly rely on internal lists to control what their keyboards suggest.
