But the tech giant has announced that iOS will soon realise it’s not a mistake at all and leave the rude words where they should be.

“In those moments where you just want to type a ducking word, well, the keyboard will learn it, too,” Apple’s software chief Craig Federighi said.

The much-needed change is expected to arrive in iOS 17 which will launch in autumn as a free upgrade for iPhones.

Users have took to social media to welcome the move, saying “it’s about ducking time”.

“awww duck yeahh!!,” one wrote on Twitter.

“let’s go, no more autocorrect issues (hopefully)!”

Another said: “iPhone autocorrect finally gives a duck!”

And a third commented: “Wait. So my iPhone will no longer automatically switch to ducking??”

The announcement came at Apple’s huge annual developer conference in which the firm unveiled it’s brand new VR mixed reality headset, the Apple Vision Pro.

It allows wearers to see virtual elements within their normal environment with a 23million pixel glass screen.

Apple also revealed several big iPhone changes as part of iOS 17.

This includes updates to the Phone and Messages apps, new AirDrop features and changes to Siri so you no longer have to say “Hey” at the beginning.
