Introduction
Have you ever tried to send a text message, only to find out that some of the words or phrases were blacked out? Or maybe you’ve seen a message you’ve received, and noticed that some of the words were missing? This is a common issue on iPhones, and it can be quite frustrating. Fortunately, there is a way to uncover the blocked out text on the iPhone. In this article, we’ll explain how to do it.
What Causes the Blocked Out Text?
Before we get into how to uncover the blocked out text, it’s important to understand why it happens in the first place. Generally speaking, the blocked out text is caused by Apple’s built-in filtering system. When a message is sent, the iPhone will automatically scan it for any potentially offensive words or phrases. These words and phrases are then blocked out, so that they don’t appear in the message.
How to Uncover Blocked Out Text
Fortunately, it’s relatively easy to uncover the blocked out text. All you have to do is tap and hold the message until a menu appears. When the menu appears, tap the “More” option. You’ll then see a list of the words and phrases that have been blocked out. Tap on each one, and the text will be revealed.
How to Turn Off the Filtering System
If you find that the filtering system is blocking out too many words and phrases, you may want to consider turning it off. To do this, open the Settings app, and then tap “Messages.” Next, tap the “Filter Unknown Senders” option, and then toggle the switch to the “Off” position. Now, the filtering system will no longer be active, and all messages will be displayed in full.
How to Change the Blocked Out Text
If you want to change the words and phrases that are blocked out, you can do so by going to Settings > Messages > Blocked. Here, you’ll see a list of all the words and phrases that are currently being blocked. To add a new one, simply tap the “+” icon, and then type in the word or phrase. To remove one, tap the “-” icon.
How to Report an Offensive Message
Finally, if you ever receive an offensive message, you can report it to Apple by tapping and holding the message, and then tapping the “Report” button. This will send the message to Apple, who may then take action against the sender.
Conclusion
As you can see, it’s relatively easy to uncover blocked out text on the iPhone. All you have to do is tap and hold the message, and then tap the “More” option. You can also turn off the filtering system, or change the words and phrases that are blocked out. If you ever receive an offensive message, you can report it to Apple.
