FINALLY! Your iPhone will let you 'ducking' say exactly what you 'ducking' meant to say

• When you want to drop an f-bomb in a text, your iPhone switches it to "duck."
• That's changing.

You know how when you want to say the f-word on iMessage it autocorrects it to "duck" instead?

And how you've been texting, randomly to your friends, the phrase "dual duck f—k" for years, because there was a funny autocorrect one time a decade ago?

(Maybe that's just me.)

Well, anyway, those days are over!

During the launch of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, software boss Craig Federghi explained that thanks to enhancements to autocorrect, "in those moments where you just wanna type a ducking word, well, the keyboard will learn it too. "

Good one, Craig!

Here's everything he said.

"AutoCorrect is getting more capable, with a refreshed design to better support you as you type. Sentence-level auto-corrections can fix more types of grammatical mistakes. If an auto-correction isn't quite what you wanted, tapping the underlying word shows what you originally typed with the option to quickly revert back to it. And in those moments where you just wanna type a ducking word, well, the keyboard will learn it too. "

He also said that the iPhone with the new iOS 17 will improve its "predictive text" feature to suggest text in line as you type to help you text faster. And those "predictions improve based on the phrases and words you use, so they're more personalized."

Duck yeah!
