Get 'ducking' excited: Apple is finally addressing this annoying autocorrect issue

Apple users who are tired of that "ducking" autocorrect issue can now rejoice! The tech company announced Monday at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference that iOS 17 will ensure that autocorrected words are temporarily underlined so users know what has been changed and can quickly change the word back to what they originally meant to type. "Autocorrect is powered by on-device machine learning and over the years, we've continued to advance these models," said Craig Federighi, the company's software chief. "The keyboard now leverages a transformer language model, which is state of the art for word prediction, making autocorrect more accurate than ever." The autocorrect feature has been the subject of tweets, memes and other social media posts for years, often annoying already irritated people trying to drop a popular expletive by changing the word to "ducking."
