All iPhone users are familiar with the unique frustration that comes up when we're trying to rant about something via text and chuck in an f-bomb. Except the f-bomb isn't what we see. We see our old mate duck chilling there. Your iPhone tells you that you meant to say "ducking".
It's probably reasonably rare that someone has purposely told someone to “duck off” or said something “ducking” sucks. Autocorrect wants to keep it all PC.
But one Twitter user and Guardian columnist has crafted a genius hack that will allow you to use profanity to your heart’s content sans autocorrect intrusiveness.
As Steven Thrasher of The Guardian cleverly suggests on Twitter, simply add names to your contacts for a certain “F**k F***ker” and “F**ked F***king,” and your phone will forever recognise the curse words, rather than correct them — it will think you're typing out the name of a friend.
This is ducking perfect.
