IPHONE owners are over the Moon as Apple has finally addressed an issue that’s annoyed users for years.

Alongside all the usual visual changes, there are some background upgrades that make a difference too.

One that’s got Apple fans particularly excited is explicit language handling.

Users have long joked that common swear words are replaced with “ducking” and “shot”.

But that interference is no more, as Apple has made a major change to the iPhone keyboard so that it’ll learn your favourite expletives.

“The keyboard will add explicit language that you use to your
personal vocabulary list and will learn this usage for each different app,” the company said.

“Explicit language that is learned is used for autocorrect, QuickPath,
suggestions, and predictive text.”

“Ducking finally,” one user wrote on Reddit.

“About ducking time,” another added.

“Took them a ducking while holy shot,” a third commented.

Earlier this year, Apple’s software chief Craig Federighi said: “In those moments where you just want to type a ducking word, well, the keyboard will learn it, too.”

Other changes introduced to iOS include brand new Contact Posters which display full images of your friends and family whenever they call.

Users can also transcribe voicemail messages so they no longer have to listen to them.
