A new website, Swipeblocked, reveals that Apple's iPhone keyboard dictionary contains thousands of words and phrases the system will not suggest. The boundaries range from slurs and offensive terms to political slogans and public figures. The site decodes these restrictions from iOS 27 keyboard data files.
Apple prioritizes certain autocorrects and swiped words over others, often blocking terms one letter off from common usage to avoid unintended outputs. The dictionary contains three categories: vulgar, offensive, and sensitive. While users can type any word manually, the keyboard will not proactively suggest restricted phrases.
Beyond offensive language, the list includes amusing examples like "left wing conspiracy," which changes to "left wrong conspiracy," and "Santa isn't real." The restrictions apply across all languages for cultural reasons, though specific blocks vary. Apple does not publish the official list, leaving decoding to third-party sites.
