has anyone else had autocorrect correct a basic word with a slur?

Super unsettling and just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. Just typing out a basic descriptive adjective that I’ve used a fair amount of times and didn’t incorrectly type it out but the word was automatically “corrected” to something deeply upsetting when I sent the text to a friend. I immediately edited it, after the fact but shouldn’t have had to and just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced such a disgustingly upsetting glitch because that would be a massive oversight.

Welcome!


Please help us help you. What Apple device and what operating system is it running, and in what app does this happen?


Once we know, we can ask the moderators to move this to a more active and appropriate forum section where your very valid issue will get more views from seasoned volunteers.


The "Using the Communities" section is titularly for asking how to use the forums. Sadly, it's turned onto a bit of a dumping ground and get far fewer views than the product-specific forums


Thanks!
