Turn Your iPhone’s Keyboard Into a Trackpad

Whether you’re sending a long message or writing a journal entry, you’ll probably make a few mistakes here and there. While they’re easy to correct, sometimes it can be hard to place the cursor on the right letter or word you need to change.

Sure, you can place the cursor near the mistake and simply delete the whole word, but your iPhone has a cooler and more useful feature: you can turn your keyboard into a trackpad.

All you need to do is press and hold the spacebar on your iPhone. You’ll know it worked when your keyboard turns into an empty great square and you feel a haptic response in your finger. 

Next, move the cursor to the exact word or letter you want to fix without lifting your finger. Once you get there, release your finger, and the trackpad will return to a regular keyboard.
