7 Use Shortcuts
On the native iOS keyboard, there are actually a handful of “hidden” features that can help you type faster.
- Need to add a symbol? Tap and hold the 123 icon and select a symbol without taking your finger off. It’ll automatically add that symbol in and bring you back to the standard keyboard. But these time-saving measures don’t end there.
- You can double-tap the space bar to quickly insert a period and a space at the end of a sentence.
- You can also double-tap shift to type in all capital letters, or tap and hold any character to bring up more character options for different languages.
