TechApple has a secret list of banned autocomplete phrases, including “dictator Trump”

Researcher Derik Kauffman found more than 100,000 words and phrases blocked from iOS autocomplete and swipe typing across major languages. Users can still enter them one letter at a time. The list mostly covers offensive terms and subjects such as sex and drugs, but also includes political phrases and less controversial entries. Apple says its keyboard avoids potentially inappropriate suggestions while allowing users to type or override them.
