Apple fixing iPhone bug that sees ‘Trump’ appear in text when users say ‘racist’
The tech giant said the glitch was caused by a bug in its speech recognition systems that power its voice-to-text tools.
Apple says a bug sparked a glitch which sees “Trump” appear briefly onscreen when a user says the word “racist” when using its voice-to-text feature.
A number of iPhone users have spotted the bug, with some posting clips to social media of the glitch in action, which has also sparked outrage among supporters of the US president.
The bug appears when users activate the iPhone’s voice-to-text feature, which allows people to dictate messages using their voice, and briefly shows the name “Trump” in response to a user saying the word “racist”, before quickly correcting to what was said.
Some videos posted online show the bug does not appear every time the word racist is said.
