Swipe keyboard banned word: Abortion

Hi turk__182,

Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!

We understand that you're using swipe to type in Messages and you're unable to swipe "Abortion".

You can add words to your dictionary if they don't automatically appear in predictive text. You can go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement to add words. You can learn more here: How to use Auto-Correction and predictive text on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Set up text replacement

With text replacement, you can use shortcuts to replace longer phrases. When you enter the shortcut in a text field, the phrase automatically replaces it. For example, you could type "GM" and "Good morning" would automatically replace it. 

To manage text replacement, tap Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement. 

• To add a text replacement, tap the Add button , then enter your phrase and shortcut. When you're done, tap Save. 

• To remove a text replacement, tap Edit, tap the Remove button  then tap Delete. To save your changes, tap Done.

We hope this helps.

Take care!

English has the largest vocabulary of any language currently spoken. It is unlikely that all the words will be in the default swipe library.

It is not a 'banned word'.

Stop attributing political motivations to everything you see.

What are we offended by today, America...
