Apple has been clear on their message to keep the iOS platforms clean from impurities. A new patent by the company is designed to prevent people from 'sexting,' or sending sexually explicit text messages. In addition to the ability to filter such messages, other filters can be used with the goal of improving the grammar or even language level of users.

There goes the need for an unlimited text plan.

There goes the need for a phone.

you dont have to use the app

There goes flirting with your spouse or boy/girlfriend. I hope it's just a parental control and not out there for all users, including adults.

^^Ofcourse it will be an optional feature.

what

Terrible idea. This is like disconnecting someones phone if they blow over a .08 so they can't drunk dial or text. Worthlesser!

Stupid. Whats the point of getting ridiculously high with your friends when you can't even send sexually provocative messages to people on his contact list?

People are getting their panties in a bunch because they don't know how to read.

This is just an optional parental control feature.

That it is called "sexting" makes me want to kill the world.

This reminds me of those chats where you can't write the word bitch, then you find the word bi_tch all over lol
