I mean, how do you think spelling correction works? Local on-device “reading” of text is a pretty simple feature that’s used for a bunch of stuff (detecting URLs, email addresses…)
Sure, as you do with any software. A computer is always looking at your data and input. That’s how it works. Unless you audit it yourself, you have to take someone else’s word it isn’t doing something it isn’t supposed to.
I am absolutely not an Apple Stan. I hate Apple. I’m on Linux for a reason, and my phone is running Android (which I also hate, but whatever). You’re reasoning was just bad.
Lol. I don’t. However, you’re acting like just displaying something is an indication of them sending the data off. You do know the text message itself is not just displayed on the screen, right? It takes in some bytes of data and processes it, and them uses that to select characters to print to the screen. It has to process the messages no matter what. This little effect isn’t anything more dangerous than the characters being rendered to the screen. Both of them are just processing the data in a message to choose what to display.
While Apple’s code isn’t open-source, I believe they’ve subjected their code to third-party audit in the past for confirmation that the data isn’t being sent off-device.

you’d have to take it at their word all of this stays inside the device.
None of what’s been mentioned above requires server-side processing.

haha touché, computers always invade your privacy anyway!
apple stans always with the very best reasoning.

for starters, foss code is audited collectively, not individually.
please don’t believe what apple marketing says at face value.

So kind of, but not entirely.
