While not nearly as bad as what is in the article. Predictive text in Messages on iOS now suggests "cancer" when I type "can" and "chemotheteropy" when I type "ch". And to really rub it in "ma" brings up "magnesium". The magnesium one being the worst because if I type it that means they are doing a magnesium infusion and that means I am going to feel like I have been hit by a truck for the next two days. A lot of the times it is actually picking the right word but somethings you don't want to be constantly reminded of.

I get that this is frustrating and deeply annoying for you, but these predictions are analyzed and made on-device. There is no tracking going on like in the case of Facebook (where it could leak through another Cambridge-Analytica-like event to many other companies).
