Read our privacy policy iPhones are swapping the word “racist” for “Trump”, Apple has said. The name "Trump" appears briefly in response to a user saying the word "racist", before quickly correcting to what was actually said. The company said the bug had caused "Trump" to be suggested erroneously in response to several words that include an "r" consonant. After some users complained that they had apparently automatically followed the president and Vice President JD Vance’s new pages, the tech giant quickly confirmed that this was because the accounts in question were linked to the political office and not the individual, so changed hands following the presidential transition.
