Apple has registered a patent that will help eliminate the ambiguity in communication caused by the use of the auto-correct function. The recipient will be able to find out which words were corrected by the smartphone

Users of Apple products will be spared the awkward situations that result from using auto-correction if developers supplement this function with an application described in the patent . This was reported by Apple Insider.

According to the description, the application will underline all words in the message that are automatically corrected by the operating system. Currently, such highlighting is visible only to the sender and only in certain circumstances: when using a voice recorder, iOS will highlight in blue all words that the system is not sure are spelled correctly, recalls Apple Insider.

The publication notes that in other cases, automatic word changes occur without user intervention, which leads to misunderstandings, especially if the message was written quickly and the sender did not view it before clicking forward.

Apple's new invention will be an addition to the existing option for checking auto-correction after dictating text. As a result, recipients will be able to see which words were changed by the program, but will not be able to see the original message.

Instead, in unclear cases, iOS will prompt you to contact the sender for clarification—for example, to clarify whether the meeting will take place at “five” or “again.”
