Xiaomi: Block Offensive Words in Keyboard Suggestions

If the keyboard on your Xiaomi phone keeps suggesting swear words or curses while typing, autocorrect is picking them up as valid entries. A dedicated filter in the keyboard settings controls whether these words show up in suggestions at all. Turning it on or off changes what the prediction bar offers, not what you can actually type.

Block Offensive Words in Keyboard Suggestions auf Xiaomi

The Xiaomi keyboard suggests words as you type, and by default this includes swear words or curses once you have typed them a few times. The Block offensive words option is a filter inside the keyboard's text correction settings that removes these terms from the suggestion bar.

This setting only affects word suggestions and autocorrect predictions. It does not stop you from typing offensive words manually, and it does not filter messages you receive from other people.

To find the option, go to Tap on SettingsTap on Additional settingsTap on Languages & inputTap on Manage keyboardsTap on SettingsTap on Text correctionEnable or disable Block offensive words.

Enable it if you share your phone with children or want a cleaner suggestion bar in shared or work environments. Disable it if you regularly type in a dialect, slang, or a specific professional context where the filter blocks words you actually need.

If offensive words still appear after enabling the filter, check whether a third-party keyboard app is active instead of the built-in MIUI keyboard, since this setting only applies to the default keyboard.

Frequently asked questions

No. The filter only removes offensive words from the suggestion bar. You can still type any word manually, the keyboard just will not suggest or autocorrect to it.
