Currently using the Samsung keyboard how do I unblock offensive words
 
If you are referring to when you are using speech to text, Settings/Language and Input/On Screen Keyboard/Google Voice Typing(Or Samsung Voice Input depending on your keyboard)/Block-UnBlock Offensive words.

100% ALWAYS the first setting I change lol!

You are a life saver. The auto-correct was driving me insane.
 
I'll be damned I found the setting I swear I didn't see it before.
 
When I check it shows The option for blocking offensive words as turned Off. I noticed if I type out the word it lets it stay there

Lol no. I don't need swear words unblocked, I needed to access the auto-correct. It REFUSED to allow you to spell out certain words even if they were not swear words.

Actually, it's easily missed but when you type out a word a little check mark appears on the left of suggestions, and if you click the check mark the keyboard learns that word and won't autocorrect it. But I never use autocorrect I don't need the hassle lol

The oreo update took all the swear wordsof and I cant find the setting to take it off and sometimes it autocorrects words that aren't even seear words
 
Since the Oreo update, I am seeing two issues. any have any idea how to fix.....
1. Cannot swipe curse words. It is always changing **** to short or shot. Before the update, I could swipe these words just fine
2. After typing in a number, then swiping the next word, it does not put in a space, so the number and letter are connected together.

Item 1 is a wayyyyyy bigger issue for me that i really really want to get resolved. it's so damn annoying!!!

I am having the exact same issues since the update. The phone refuses to learn swear words and I have to manually type them latter by letter rather than swiping. There is no option to add them and this is getting really obnoxious. I have been an android user for years, but if they are going to censor my own damn private speech it might be time to find a different phone type.

I tried downloading a dictionary, I have block offensive words turned off for speech-to-text. It shouldn't be this difficult to swipe words I use every single day.
 
I just did a chat with Samsung and they said this was part of the last update - there is no fix. The next update will correct it so the keyboard will remember the words we want to use again
 
Thought I was going crazy. I kept turning off the block but it keeps turning back on. OMG. Have the 9S. Glad I'm not the only one. I kept thinking why are they policing me it's made me so angry I want to scream and curse!!!!

Any time frame on when that update will be released?
 
It would be REALLY nice if Samsung setup their keyboard to carry over the words you had taught it before an update, or moving to a new phone for that matter! Not only am I having the same issues with bad words, I've also noticed that the swipe function just behaves completely differently than before, and doesn't pick up basic words I've said through hundreds of times without any issues before the update. Also, I've noticed that if it auto corrects a word when you go back to change it, the options it gives me are based on the word it changed it to, not the other words my original swipe might have been close to. So if I'm trying to type collect it might pick connect instead, it used to be that I'd see collect as an option if I went back to the word, now I see connected, connections, connecting, etc.
