> Apple’s iPhone will not autocomplete references to drugs, sexual acts and, perhaps in the spirit of corporate protection, “iMessage isn’t working”.

I suppose ditching Apple is "two birds with one stone" :)

A lot of these are genuinely things that you REALLY don’t want your phone accidentally sending to your boss or work colleagues.

The others are blatant censorship.

But your phone would not send those things.

Pressing send after a swiped/typed/predicted sequence of words is still entirely up to YOU.
