The US Patent and Trademark Office has approved the option of a control filter for Apple phones.
Developed as a means to protect the youth from coarse communication, whether accidental or intentional, this control filter for Apple products is essentially a tool for parents to activate on their children’s phones. The app will predict words of a more innocuous nature and disable the ability for the texter to input lewd language.
