Fucked if I know why you can’t type expletives on your iPhone - seems to work fine for me.

I added a contact whose name was all the expletives and now it ducking allows me to swear.

You can type them, but not by gliding.

Ah. Didn't appreciate that. To be fair, it took Apple so long to implement this I've never learned to use the feature.

This seems to have changed now.

As of iOS 15, gliding is able to type expletives for me if they’re added to the “text replacement” list.
