You know that feeling when you’re really ducking angry about something, and you’re trying to text your friend about it, but your ducking phone won’t stop saying duck because the ducking autocorrect keeps ducking with your text? Well Buzzfeed finally released a guide to a workaround.

Their solution was for iPhone, which we’ll go over first, then I’ll show you how to do the same thing on an Android.

iPhone  – Step 1: Open Settings, go to “General”

iPhone – Step 2: Toward the bottom, click “Keyboard”

iPhone – Step 3: This is what we’re looking for

iPhone – Step 4: Click the top right + to add something

iPhone – Step 5: Tell your phone that you MEAN it when you swear

Android – Step 1: With keyboard open, click the cog on the top right

Android – Step 2: Now go to “Smart Typing”

Android – Step 3: “Text Shortcuts”

Android – Step 4: Click Add to…Add
