    I don’t think it has anything to do with censorship and the swipe library doesn’t use AI. It’s just a very ambiguous swipe near very common letters.

    On a hunch, I tried simply holding for 1 second on the E. It seems to work a lot better than a loop. You can even see the hovering word change from “we” to “wee” while paused on the E.

      I say it’s censorship because I’ve noticed “dirty” words almost always need to be typed out letter by letter but I can swipe for 90% of the other words I want to use.

      I can use swipe to spell hypothalamus but can’t use it to say fuck without typing it in over and over or deliberately adding it to my phones dictionary.

        Right, but weed is a perfectly ordinary word and I’ve typed it on my KB many times before recently trying to swipe it.
