iPhone’s Hidden Blocklist
Independent researcher Derek Kaufman discovered a hidden list in iOS containing, by his conservative estimate, around 100,000 words and phrases in multiple languages. The keyboard often won’t suggest these words through autocomplete or swipe typing, though users can still type them manually. The list includes profanity and terms related to sex, violence, and drugs, as well as political phrases such as “Tibetan independence” and “Trump the dictator.” Tests showed inconsistent blocking of similar phrases. Apple said the keyboard avoids inappropriate suggestions and that users can override them, while critics called for users to be informed and given the option to customize these lists.
