I don't have an iPhone, and I'm not sure how to go about searching for the answer to this highly specific question, and I bet you'd be excited to just say yes or no or whatever.
Does this have a means to, for NeoPronouns, illustrate the distinction between how you go about conjugating the pronouns in different specific circumstances? For example, "He" and "She" are basically the same word, but "Him/His" and "Her/Hers" are absolutely not because "His" is both a Dependent possessive (determiner) and an Independent possessive, whereas "Her" is both an Object and a Dependent possessive but NOT an Independent possessive, for which you would use hers. Similarly, "his" is not an object, for that you use "him".
In this way lots of neopronouns come in the form of being either masculine or feminine. Others follow the rules of "it/its" where there are really only two, and others work like third person singular where there are five.
Does... it have this sort of distinction?
It just asks the three questions in the first screenshot for each set of pronouns you add, so it will not capture all forms, no (it will fold up it/its and presumably similar examples). Given the restriction of right now these only being used programatically in Apple's apps, presumably those don't use the other forms?
Oh that would definitely make a lot of sense. I doubt my phone would have to refer to me as "themself" or anything. Okay! Thank you! <3
