Background & analysis
On 2026-11-06, Reuters reported that an independent researcher had found Apple maintains a hidden list of around 100,000 words and phrases that its iPhone keyboard will not suggest to users, including political expressions such as "Dictator Trump" and "Sleepy Joe". The same report noted that the restriction does not stop users from typing these words themselves; it only prevents the keyboard from auto-suggesting them. The available material offers no further details on how the list is compiled or how broadly it applies, and Apple has not responded publicly. The story remains at the initial disclosure stage, with no confirmed follow-up on verification, scope, or any change to the behavior.

How is heat calculated?About the methodHide
Heat counts how many independent sources covered a story in the last 48 hours: one source counts once no matter how many posts it published, decaying with a 24-hour half-life. What ranks first is what many people are talking about.
