“Did you mean: apologize?”

In a surprising software update this week, major smartphone manufacturers confirmed that AutoCorrect will now provide moral guidance, not just spelling corrections.

Users report the feature first appeared after attempting to send emotionally charged texts like “I’m fine,” “We’re done,” or “You never listen.”

“I tried to text my ex, ‘You’re toxic,’” said beta tester Monica R., “and it changed it to ‘I miss your laugh, but I respect your boundaries.’”

Developers describe this as an AI-driven empathy initiative designed to “encourage accountability, mindfulness, and slightly fewer 2 a.m. mistakes.”

The update includes new smart suggestions such as:

• “Did you mean: take responsibility?”

• “Perhaps use fewer all-caps next time?”

• “Add heart emoji to soften the blow?”

However, critics argue that the feature may go too far. One early tester reported that when he typed “u up?”, his phone powered off and sent him a notification reading: “Don’t.”

Despite mixed reviews, tech experts predict the trend will continue.

“Within five years,” says analyst Dr. Arjun Patel, “your phone won’t just autocorrect your grammar — it’ll correct your life choices.”

At press time, AutoCorrect attempted to fix this article’s closing line from “Good luck out there” to “Have you called your mom recently?”
