FYI for those who use both iphone and non-iphone, a lot of the keyboard typing tricks also work on non-iphones such as: add additional language keybooards, left/right keyboard, full stop/caps lock, hold spacebar to control cursor, hold keys to display accents and other symbols and the swipe keyboard. Hope that helps :) Thanks for the tips btw!

Thank you. I was hoping he’d address a little more re: dictation. I didn’t know about full stop command. But I was wondering how to tell it to capitalize a word that may not usually be a proper noun. For instance: Chase Bank; I may not want to repeat both words and would like to have Chase capitalized; but, often when I use the word chase again, it doesn’t capitalize it. Or if I want to dictate something in all caps. (I don’t suppose yelling angrily would do the trick! ☺️) And if I’m using quotes, I’ve tried “open quotes”/“end quotes,” but it often types those exact word. Can you briefly explain? Thank you!
@@cydkriletich6538 Have a look at this video: Voice Dictation 101 For Android & iOS - Capitalizing And Starting A New Line by The Blind Life
@@cydkriletich6538 Try saying 'open quote word end quote' which will result in "word" being displayed. Works on both iphones and non-iphones as well :)
@@cydkriletich6538 just say “quote” [whatever word or phrase you want to be in quotes] “unquote”
Everyone who ever makes a how-to video should watch this. It sets the standard for others to reach for! You'll hear instructions that everyone can follow. You'll see a clear visual that illustrates every step along the way. You won't have to google strange phrases or acronyms in tech-speak, but the content won't be "dumbed down" insultingly. And kudos and extra stars for concentrating on the subject without subjecting viewers to self-serving and irrelevant blather. Thank you so much.
Wow! Thank yiou...This "Boomer" can appreciate some straight shooting instruction that is old school 101 education principles and practices. The world has changed indeed.
Yes! Then he has RUclips chapters and a “table of contents” in the description which makes it even easier to use. This was great!
Totally agree. The facts and nothing but the facts. 👌👏
I absolutely agree!
I only discovered this RUclips channel last week and I fully agree with your comments. This should be the standard tutorial prototype, as it is about perfect!!!
The ability to put the insertion point exactly where I want it has probably given me back a year of life that would have otherwise been lost to frustration and rage. THANK YOU!
Yes, just crazy that Apple hasnt figured this out after all these years
Agreed, this is the biggest thing I learned here. I hate that you cant delete either forward or backward from the cursor like on a laptop, one way only, and also the cursor is drawn to some places like a magnet and it is impossible to select a point on the screen by touching, no matter how many times you try.
Also an android user here.. I hope iPhone also puts the numbers on the keyboard just like my android. The numbers are placed above the letters.
Yup.. that’s been my biggest problem coming from android
The keys are too small for me on iPhone, so I use my iPad to text. I recently got a new iPad (Mini 5). Apple disallows texting to a non- iPhones from this ipad. Half of the people I text to do not use iPhones. So I can no longer group text to sets of friends or to my whole family. SHAME ON YOU APPLE. I also needed a new laptop. So I bought a Lenovo PC-my first step in totally leaving Apple.
The press down space to get a free curser tip … mind blowing! Thanks
if my fingers would shrink 30% all my typing problems would be solved on phones
Very nice! My big takeaway was the cursor placement. The "Hold down space and you get a trackball" tip was worth its weight in gold. Thanks!
Yes! No more frustrating misplacement of the cursor! So easy to get it right in the middle of a word!
Interestingly it's just not the space bar but the whole keyboard.
Agreed. That’s the one that stood out for me.
Me too. I've been using iPhones for a pretty long time, and I never knew this trick for the cursor placement. So pleased to find this out today.
@@armeetindergill Yes, on the iPhone, but on the iPad it's only the space bar OR 2 fingers on the keyboard.
I'm a middle aged woman who tries very hard to keep up with technology. Still, there was a lot here I didn't know. I sent this to older family members and friends who were very grateful. Thank you for doing this and being thorough, and for not being condescending. Very kind of you. God bless.
I agree, so thank you!!
100%
Middle aged? I’m sure you’ve developed good skills.
Your 50!!! Already??
Did you enjoy ww2?
I agree with you. One thing about technology is continuing education. I’m constantly learning otherwise it becomes a kind of handicap. I often meet older people like myself that can’t use a computer or even a smartphone so they have to depend on someone else for help or they do without services easily available on line. For many many years my sister wouldn’t make the effort to learn how to use Amazon. Now she loves the delivery and uses it all the time instead of having to go shopping every time she needs something.
I only wish I had found you, Proper Honest Tech, so much earlier! I’ve just watched 3 of your easy to follow videos and have learnt heaps of information on the many operations of my iPhone. Your calm explanatory manner and the screens you show are extremely informative. Thanks for helping us older people out with the ins and outs of todays technology. Needless to say I am now a subscriber but also need to know how to get your free weekly email into my inbox. Once again, Thank you so much. Your’e an absolute legend!!!! ❤
This was extremely helpful to me being older, not elderly. I don’t think I knew any of these tips. Your explanation and demo was really easy to follow. Thank you.
Clear instructions with examples to show exactly what each tip looks like in real life. For me, this is what I love about this channel. Many thanks!
Thank you!
If you go into the “tips” native app in your iPhone or iPad, you’ll find what you’re looking for.
Now I know how to change language for the auto correct, Hurray!!
This is one of the best technique videos I’ve ever seen. I’m going to have to watch it several more times to get everything into my head. Thanks so very much for it!
This is the most helpful video of this type that I’ve seen. Very well-organized, no wasting of time, yet giving all the details necessary for each function. You are a natural teacher. Excellent. Thank you.
I will have to watch this again to absorb everything, but thanks for covering many things I didn't know.
As a senior who just discovered your channel, I have to tell you I am sooo happy I did! I’m on my 3rd iPhone (now IPhone 13), 1st iPad (Mini 5 for travelling) and 3rd MacBook Pro, and am staggered at how much I DIDNT know about these devices.🙄In just the first of your videos that I’ve viewed I’ve learned so much.👍🏻Love your tutorial style: you don’t speak too fast or too slowly, your explanations are clear and concise. Thank you! I’m subscribing and telling everyone I know about you. Cheers from a new Canadian 🇨🇦 fan!
I love to read comments like this, thanks so much, and I'm glad you're finding value in the content!
Thank you, wonderful presentation. Clear, no waffle! No bothersome background music. And I really learned some helpful stuff.
Not bothersome, but I can hear background music.
No talking to stupid animated characters! That’s such a big thing in videos that I watch & it’s so annoying. This was great! New subscriber here. 👍
@@fingerriddles No, its not bothersome, but why have it?
That spacebar as a trackpad is a game changer. It works a little different on Android, but will save me a lot of trouble.
I’m from Algeria and currently I’m learning english, I watch your videos everyday because I like your accent and your english if perfect I understand everything. Thank you very much ( PS: I’m an Iphone user so 2 birds 1 stone )
I love to hear stories like that! I'm glad that my content is helping you in more ways than I'd originally intended it to!
Wow…my old brain needed this! Thank you so much for helping me finally learn these shortcuts. It’s a little fast, but definitely useful!
This is the best tutorial on any topic I have ever seen. You are organized, clear, understandable, and personable. I thought I knew everything about dictating text on an iPhone, but you surprised me and I am grateful for the tips. But there were numerous things I didn’t know about the keyboard. Thank you! You are going to save me a lot of time.
One more thing. If there was a 5 star rating system in You Tube hands down it’s a 5 all the way. Thank you so much! I’m sharing your video’s with my mother.
Thanks!
OMG! You have just changed my life with this swipe typing!!!! I have fumble fingers and constantly click the wrong key. No longer! This is the best thing ever! Thank you!
Just one cool one that I recently learned that wasn’t in this video. If you hold the punctuation key and slide to your selection (period, comma, quotes, etc) and release, it takes you instantly back to the keyboard to continue with letters.
Still becoming muscle memory for me but the constant tapping for symbols was the hardest part of the iOS transition for me. Wish I would have known sooner!!
Love the content, especially notes and reminders tips!
Sorry but I don’t get this one. Can you please provide a bit more detailed explanation or an example how to do that? Thanks 🤓
@@AzizLomigora you know how on the stock iOS keyboard you have to click the “123” button to get to all your punctuation, number line, etc? But then you have to click is again to get back to letters. It’s a lot of extra tapping if you have parentheses or several commas.
But if you press and hold “123”, then slide to the comma, period, exclamation, but don’t lift your finger until you’ve reached the proper button. Once you lift up, the symbol will be applied and the keyboard instantly switches back to letters so you can continue typing.
Hopefully that makes it a little more clear?
@@thomasswanson7162 Got it! Thank you so much! 🙌
@@thomasswanson7162 thank you! That’s a big help
@@thomasswanson7162 Thanks Thomas - learned this one!
OMG MAHALO where have you been all my life? I will have to watch several times to absorb all the new tips, but I REALLY needed this!
That was fun. I loved learning about the swipe typing, the cursor/trackpad ability and adding more keyboard languages. I'm moving to SE Asia and just put the Vietnamese keyboard on my phone. They use the roman alphabet but they have tons of unusual combined accent letter combos that really mean something when trying to communicate in that language. Thanks for the fun and informative video. Subscribed!
Another great video! I do wish Apple would add the ability to change the case of a word by selecting the word and toggling the shift key. It's such a pain to go back if you forget to capitalize the first letter of a title or name, e.g.
The ° and ¢ were worth the whole 8 minutes. I’ve been a swipe typer since moving over from Samsung. I loved your presentation and am sharing with friends. Many thanks.
These were the *only* two tricks I knew, lol! My problems seem to be that I was a pretty decent typer, then suddenly I wasn’t. iPhone gives me good suggestions which I thought would help me correct this sudden ineptness, but won’t actually give me those words it offers me! I tap on them to insert them, but it then decides “nah, you don’t want that!” and changes it to something else! Yes, I did want that! 😂. Grown up arguing with a phone.
Fab tutorial. No extraneous stuff! Holding down the space bar for the cursor will be so helpful. Thank you 😊
I'm an older senior and always love good tips to make my life easier. Never thought about shrinking the keyboard since I'm left-handed and try practicing typing with one hand. Thanks.
Great video because it made me feel smart about all the ones I already knew, and then really glad to learn about the ones I didn't. :)
Awesome tips! Love the space bar/track pad tip. I always need that one. Thank you.
I only have a sec so I’ll just say that you just made me a very happy iPhone user. You have a new subscriber. Thank you!
Glad to hear it!
Wow , this is very impressive, the majority of the tips I didn’t knew till now . That’s why is good to browse on RUclips , you learn a lot everyday .
Really chuffed to see you're gaining a lot of subscribers mate. Great video, as per; I knew I was in for a treat seeing how I normally never type on my phone unless I really, really have to (I've always been a mechanical keyboard kind of guy). The three finger gestures were an absolute mindblower.
Great tutorial! Clear and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing this useful advice.
Excellent and to the point presentation. I learned some things and re-learned some things. The long hold for accent selection and accurate placement of the cursor, 123 button: 0 for 0 or degrees, slash for forward or reverse slash, period for period or ellipses. I never was quite sure why the formatting options finally came up. Thanks.
This is a perfect primer for someone who still resents the passing of rotary phones, Selectrics, & CRT TV consoles. ✋😂😂 Thank you!
I just switched to an iphone 11 from an 8+ which had the haptic sensors for pressure. You could just push down a little anywhere on the keyboard for the trackpad. The spacebar as trackpad tip just saved me so much frustration. I've got big fingers and have been dragging the cursor through the text getting annoyed because I could barely see around my finger.
Learned a few things… also, in the US we say “period” at the end of a sentence… I wish we could say “full stop” tho…
It took me ages to figure out “new line”- I had to google it- I was saying “carriage return” cause I’m …not young lol.
Thanks for the tutorial…your channel is great
Cheers
Actually, full stop did put in a period, and I live in the US too… I didn’t know we could say it too
Thanks a lot man, I can really use these tips. I have owned an Iphone for just a few weeks and I have been feeling like a complete klutz typing on it; this will greatly help.
This is one of the best, and most useful videos I have ever watched. I learned so many useful typing tips and I’ll be referring back to it often until I memorize them! Thank you Proper Honest Tech!
Dictating "with ease" at 6:32 *made iPhone recognize "with these"* which is NOT what you wanted. Nevertheless, not your fault! Useful video! Thumbs up! All the best, Rob in Switzerland
This is such a helpful and well done video….. all of them, however, it’s overwhelming for me with so many wonderful tips so I’ll be saving all of them as I’m excited to try new things! Thank you!
Oh my gosh, I’ve had iPhones for years and didn’t know half of these tricks, thank you!
0:19 I recently came across your videos, and I’m happy to say that I have learned a lot from it. Love you soft way of talking and the way you explain things, makes it easy to understand and follow.
Thank you so much for all the information, you’ve got a follower 😊❤
These were fantastic tips. Very easy to follow the video. I did already know these all but I should use some of them more often.
Keep up the great work! By the way, using the spacebar as a trackpad is so easy and something I practice quite a bit.
° was totally new, was looking for it for ages 😅
Thank you for this hint
New to me, too! I always used to type the word "degrees." No more! 😊
Very clear, concise and informative. I learnt a new trick or two which I’ll definitely be using in future to speed up my typing. Thank you 😊 👍
Love watching and learning from you, Proper!
I’m so glad I found your channel. Some of these, especially the transfer to iPad, were mind blowing. I’m a fast keyboard typist, but a one finger iPhone Typer, which is soooo annoying. I do use dictation quite often, but sometimes it doesn’t capture the correct word! I’ll be trying the swipe method, just need a LOT of practice. My sister has been using it for years, but I’ve never picked it up. Looking forward to going thru your other videos !
The more you use swipe, the more your phone gets used to your vocabulary.
Take the time to correct the words it gets wrong, then, even though the right word is already there, select it in the predictive text, or tap the checkmark (that's what I have on my android phone). It will learn what word you meant and get better and better at putting in the correct words.
I just upgraded to a new, and different brand, android phone. I forgot what the "training period" was like. My old phone knew my vocabulary so well, it seemed like I only scribbled around on my screen and it knew what I wanted typed. Lol
Great and useful content. Certainly enjoyed all of you videos so far. You studio is very calming and inviting, so there’s a secondary benefit! I really miss the keyboard feature whereby one taps and holds a spot to get a magnifying lens then dragging you fingertip around to move and deposit the cursor wherever you want it. I always thought that was so clever and all of a sudden it was gone. ~with love from across the pond
I stopped the video after every tip and tried it out in my notes app. So many great hints, especially holding the space bar to go to a word that needs to be corrected. That used to really frustrate me. I already knew about the swipe typing, which I find to be much easier and more accurate than typing each letter. Thanks for the info!
Great tips, I’m left handed and use one finger, I’ll try the new keyboard until I get practised. I’ve use dictation from time to time and always got frustrated when I have to go back and add punctuation, now you’ve just demonstrated how this is done. I’ve subscribed, keep giving out these hints, they are fantastic.
Loving your vids. I personally type using “swipe” and have for ages. It was one of the features that iPhone initially didn’t offer out the box but having used it for so long, I struggle to type using my thumbs or ‘letter by letter’, when someone hands me their phone to type my Wi-Fi password, for example 🤣
There are so many great tips here, that I had no idea about and will definitely try and put to good use 🌟 Thanks so much again🙌
I'm loving the text replacement feature and the keyboard swiping is pretty cool too! In dictation, I use "period" and it works on my iPhone; but interesting to know that if it were to start spelling out period, I could use "full stop".
Carolyn, I noticed his keyboard said UK so maybe that’s why it’s accepts “full stop” and our US keyboard may not!? Just have to try it! To this day I don’t know how to UNDERLINE a word! Man, do I feel daft!!
Best, most useful IPhone tutorial I have ever watched.
Thank you!
Space Bar as TrackPad is my biggest find in this video! THANK you!
You're very welcome
Very informative and helpful. A little fast for me, but I'll practice. I subscribed as a result of this vid
Excellent videos. Brilliant. ONe question. I am about 100 years old and my fingers are a bit think, so I hit half the letters I want wrongly. Do I need that tool to use instead of my thumb, or a bigger keyboard? Please. Your videos are more clear than mine even. Well done! John.
This is totally insane bro, the best tutorial I've ever watched, clear and precise.
Genius! I’ve always wanted a simpler way of typing accents as I live in an English/French area. Thanks so much for these ideas!
One of the most useful changes I made wasn't even a keyboard setting, but it made using the keyboard much more pleasant. I have a 13 Pro Max and I came from similar sized Android phones where I had a lot of control over my keyboard layout. I've always found the Apple keyboard a bit on the small/short side. I enabled display zoom mode which scaled all the display elements up a bit, but this also made the keyboard taller to my liking. Because this phone is really tall AND quite heavy, I always found it to be a little unwieldy when typing with the keyboard ALL the way down at the bottom of the display. Now I have to hold my hands a little bit higher in order to type making it feel more secure in my hands. The extra roominess of the keyboard was a welcome change, too!
I have tried this option on my iPhone 13 mini and whaloaaa it works like a charm! Thanks!
After watching this I took the plunge and gave the right-sided keyboard a try. So far I’m liking it. Great tips. Thanks. ☮️
My favourite iPhone keyboard functions are text replacement and swipe to type. With text replacement I’ve managed to create shortcuts for entire huge chunks of texts, saving me so much time! Add to that swiping for when I have to type a lot, and the stock iPhone keyboard is actually quite powerful. Grey video! Thanks for sharing it. Cheers.
Great video! Another useful tip, not included in the video, is that if you tap and hold the “123” keyboard, slide your finger to a character and then release, it will type that character and immediately switch back to the “abc” mode. Very useful for one off punctuation and numbers!
😊

Hey there
3:00 years ago
Hey
Another great video - that “Text Replacement” is a killer feature….which I wasn’t aware of …. thanks :- )
Wow!! I just found your content. You have taught me so much in such a short time. Right now I’m totally loving the auto writing by sliding my thumb rather than typing. This is great as I suffer from arthritis!! Keep up the good work!🇨🇦😊
Thank you for clear, informative tips. Appreciate that you keep it straightforward and professional!
To move the cursor you can also move it simply by holding your finger on the cursor and move it around, but using space bar to move it also works great.
A extra note for text replacement, you can add sub and super script to the text replacement menu. I have all the numbers in sub and super script saved as ‘\2’ and ‘^2’ respectively. I use them to write science note a lot, the symbols before the numbers were pick to be easier to get to on my keyboard and not used in my normal writing. This save me having to copy from google every time I need them.
EXCELLINT! THANK YOU!
Wow, that text replacement is a godsend ! Thanks again, mate, for opening my eyes to the full power of my phone !!!!!!
I’ve been using an iPhone and iPad for many years however I learned several new things from your excellent video. Especially that I can copy and paste between devices, how have I never known that. Thank you so much for a great video tutorial
To keep any adult language from being auto replaced with "ducking" and such, use the Text Replacement feature as shown at the end of this video. Type in the word you want to use as both the Phrase and the Shortcut.
This. Is. GENIUS!
NIIIIICE !!! I always hate having to retype that ducking shut every time ! Following your advice as we speak. 😎
Great tips. I've discovered a number of these myself simply by accident, the most recent of which was using the space bar as a track pad, which is remarkably useful. But some of these I didn't know existed. I find the dictation frustrating to use as there are many, many times it mistranscribes my words. I have stopped using it as I spend too much time trying to correct it. Still, many of these tips are very useful. Thanks.
The trick to it is......absolutely no background noise.
@@baanman - I've found that better enunciation with pauses between words works but it's very awkward as I have an accent that interferes with the transcription.
@@wickedcabinboy Very true, talk very slow and clear.
So helpful!! Thank you so much. Knew a few, but learnt some nice new features I didn't know about as well.
You were amazingly informative and your explanations were done so well. You made me want to learn the tips and tricks you were teaching! I’m excited to try them out. Thank you.
Here's one you missed... If you want to capitalise a single letter.... instead of tapping shift, then tapping the letter, then tapping shift again what you do is:
Tap and hold shift then without taking your finger off the screen slide over to the letter you want, then let go when you've reached that letter. The letter will be typed as a capital and the keyboard remains lower case. Much quicker than tapping shift twice.
Great tip, thanks for sharing!
It would be very useful to have customisable date and time stamps as Text Replacement options.
Absolutely fantastic video. Thank you for clear and informative presentation.
Excellent! I learnt some really useful tips, and your low key, straightforward explanations and presentation skills are awesome!
Loving your tech explanation style, and no extra jibber jabber! Thanks for all the great tips. I tried the left/right keyboard option, but those 3 icons don’t show up for me, and I can’t see options in keyboard settings to add them. Is there some setting that I’m missing? Edit: Found the solution… I had my phone set to ‘zoomed’ in Display & brightness. Set it to standard, and the L/R keyboards show up as shown in your video.
I have the same problem and tried your solution, but the L/R keyboards still don't show. I'm wondering if it's because I have an iPhone mini model. Maybe Apple thinks that feature isn't necessary on a mini!???
The video is excellent. But the problem is that iOS is way behind android in keyboard stuff. This is especially true for languages that use a lot of accented letters and verb conjunctions (Polish, Hungarian, German, etc.). Also showing the reduced capabilities of iOS is that the long press function is nowhere near as good as android. If you don't want to type a letter, but a character or number, you have to switch. This is also true for 3rd party keyboards. For example, SwiftKey exists for android and iOS. But on android it does much more than on iOS. It's also ridiculously primitive that iOS can't insert spaces after commas. So in English the iOS keyboard is probably adequate, in other languages it's lousy.
Apple would do well to completely overhaul the keyboard after studying what a comparable android device can do.
iOS also handicapped GBoard, hate my 13 ProMax because of the typing. I have a note 10+, and that is a far superior user experience.
That's entirely correct!!
Well this is an iOS video so go find the other one you want
True. Another limitation of using other languages than English with the iOS keyboard, is that those extra letters for different characters and accents, don't always exist which is mind-bogglingly weird: If I press and hold the character L or N with English selected, I get more characters compared to if I have Swedish language selected.
This has been the case since the very first iOS versions until today's.
I came from gboard on Android and the iOS version is totally limited as well as the Apple keyboard.
You always have to switch for certain characters or numbers - Why the hell am I not allowed to use the numblock when I want it. You can’t see where to find the special character that you’re looking for.
The autocorrection seems like it doesn’t exist. After months of manual correction, it still doesn’t remember/predict my name or commonly used words when I type. It’s nearly impossible to swipe a sentence without manual correction. There are many more points to discuss but it’s not fun to write them on the iPhone. If they would at lease allow us to use the iPad keyboard on the iPhone.
Very helpful tips and life savers at that. I hate typing, but the tricks lessen suffering. Thanks.
This is this best tip video I’ve watched on RUclips. Great video. 👍
So helpful! Coming from Android, typing on iPhone was my biggest frustration. Can you show how to get iPhone to stop replacing curse words with words like duck and shot while using swipe? They figure if they make it difficult to type things they don’t want, you’ll stop. First they acclimate you to accepting your language being censored, next they’ll start to censor what ideas are acceptable to communicate.
You've got two options. First, is when you see the autocorrect word appear, there will be a little cross next to it (if you hit space bar too quickly, you won't see this). Tap that little cross, which is your way of saying to your phone that you don't want to accept their autocorrected word, and it should remember it moving forward. The other is to use Text Replacement, which is in Settings.
What I'd love to see: Training the keyboard to match response to where I touch. I type with my right index finger, but doing that it feels like the phone should respond to the center of my finger but it's the right edge of my finger that it senses. So, I have to intentionally "point" slightly to the left of what I want to hit. Training would be simple: Ask the user to type some phrase, and see where the keypresses were and adjust accordingly.
I do the same!
YES! Where is the ‘I’m not a teenager, I don’t type with my thumbs’ setting?
You’re videos are very informative to be honest this is my GO TO CHANNEL ( I used one of the the tips you mentioned in this video amongst others ) . Thanks brother.
That was really helpful. Thanks you so much for producing this. Great job!
Excellent. I’m helping you build your channel by passing on your link to every IOS user I know!
Thanks for that!
Yes indeed, i would like to see some much needed keyboard improvement on the ios board. After using Android for over ten years then switching to the ios keyboard system, it is really exhausting. I like most of the things my iPhone 13 pro max can do but, their keyboad gets a 3 while 10 being best. Hope it gets better because for the money Apple is charging for their phones their Keyboard leaves you wanting. Thanks for the tips.
I have just found your site and so thrilled I have, you speak so clearly and explain everything so well,thank you.from a lady who will turn 80 this year.
Thanks for your comment, and I'm glad you're finding the content helpful!
Hi, so glad I found your channel. I was looking up how to make the letters larger on my iPhone 11 keyboard. I love how you teach. You didn’t talk fast like some do and I can’t keep up. So informative many things I didn’t realize you could do. Thanks!
I find it very tedious that when you are entering numbers, once you enter ‘space’ or any other non number characters available it always reverts back to the letter screen. Also, common punctuation should be made available as a tap-hold on the letter screen rather than always having to enter other screens. And in this day and age of emojis etc western language input should really implement smart text input like the Japanese/Korean keyboards: In the those languages typing in the name of any symbol (scientific, emoji, special char) or the sound you say x brings up the option to select that character - really annoying that in our keyboards one has to continually refer to a code page and cut&paste for darn near every character, punctuation, non standard emoji... personally, as compared to other devices currently available I feel that, in general, the Apple input is a bit dodo.
FYI When typing numbers press and hold the "ABC" button and slide to the letter or space you want and when you let go it stays on the number keyboard. I just discovered this thanks to @James reply further down.
One thing Apple *could* do to vastly improve the typing experience, is add long press options for numbers, punctuation etc. etc.
But, they never will.
That's one of the reasons I hated typing on my iPhone, when I had one and is one of the reasons why I believe that many people don't bother with punctuation, or even the use of capital letters.
All that toggling is cumbersome and clunky.
Once you've tried Swiftkey on an Android phone (Swiftkey on iOS, is a pale imitation) there's no going back to that awful keyboard.
There is. When you want numbers of punctuation, you can hold down on the ‘123’ key, keep your finger held down, slide to the character you want, and then let go: it inserts the punctuation and automatically takes you back to the letters keyboard.
@@jjswin Oh wow, it works the other way too! When typing numbers press and hold the "ABC" button and slide the letter or space you want and it then stays on the number keyboard.
I found your video very helpful, I’ve had an iPhone for many years but learned from you. Thank you.
This brief video was blowing my mind right and left! 🤯🤯🤯 I am amazed how much I didn’t know that I didn’t know. I think I only knew swype & caps lock. Thanks for the education! You are officially my favorite teacher!
I knew the first several tips, but ended up learning so many new things from your video. Very useful and well done - thank you!
Thank you. Very informative and well put together.
Such a wonderfully helpful video. I only knew a few of these and am so appreciative of the ones I didn’t know. Thank you.
I really love your tips because you actually demonstrate & explain them extremely well. This makes it very easy to understand and follow as often , description alone misses the key intermediate steps and unfriendly outcome. Well done ! Keep it up please thank you
How does one find the little emoji on the lower left? Nothing like that on SE phone.
