Apple is fixing a bug that caused its voice-to-text dictation software to mistakenly transcribe the word “racist” as “Trump,” the company said on Wednesday.
TikTok was restored to app stores run by Apple Inc. and Alphabet Inc. on Thursday, after the tech giants were reportedly reassured by the Trump administration that they would not face legal ramifications for doing so.
The app’s availability in the U.S. has been thrown into jeopardy over data privacy and national security concerns.
We are aware of an issue with the speech recognition model that powers dictation, and we are rolling out a fix as soon as possible,” Apple said on Tuesday.
TikTok is back on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store – less than one month after it was removed.
Apple said a technical bug was to blame for its iPhone diction feature replacing the word 'racist' with 'Trump.'
Apple has promised to fix a glitch in its dictation tool which is suggesting the word 'Trump' when users say the word 'racist'.
