This Is How To Stop Your Phone From Autocorrecting To Ducking

This Is How To Stop Your Phone From Autocorrecting To Ducking

Praise be, we can swear in peace once more.

There really is nothing more annoying, when typing an expletive-filled text and the word f**king slips out, over and over again and your damn phone keeps autocorrecting it to ducking.

When you're already absolutely raging over yet another Tinder date ghosting you, or your housemate making a racket at 3am on a Tuesday again and all you want to do is rant and rave and your phone won't let you. It's the most infuriating thing ever and leaves you more angry than when you started.

And breathe.

So as you can imagine, it was music to our ears when we saw people sharing their hacks to make this annoyance stop happening.

The first tip is to change in text replacement settings the word f**king to have the shortcut of ducking.

It means anytime you want to use the word ducking (which is literally never) it will autocorrect to the expletive, but you can always manually change it back.

Unless you're a boxer or you hide from a lot of exes, we doubt you use that word to excess anyway.

When sharing, the Twitter goer seemed pretty chuffed with themselves: "This may honestly be the smartest idea I've ever had," they wrote.

Another Twitter user offered up an alternative, which is to save one of your contacts as F**k F**king F**ker F**ked and it recognises this as a name and won't autocorrect your rants ever again.

But who do you choose to change to such an awful name? Whoever it is maybe don't tell them...

Apparently the tips were originally shared in 2017, but have recently resurfaced and are doing the rounds again on Twitter.

Plus, we've never seen it before so we are pleased that it is.

We even tried both hacks out ourselves to check they work and we are pleased to confirm that we can now swear in peace, so we hope you can too.

You're welcome.
