Swear words not appropriate for children and a lot of adults don’t like them either

How can I keep from getting swear words from people in on texts and how do I keep from accidentally sending a swear word on my phone when it keeps correcting my spelling and making them words I don’t say or don’t want sent

Ask them not to use those words when they text you.

iOS is pretty good in autocorrectting bad words to something else. So use autocorrect and you can always use Text Replacement feature.
