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 Try saying 'open quote word end quote' which will result in "word" being displayed. Works on both iphones and non-iphones as well :)

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.
I only discovered this UA-cam channel last week and I fully agree with your comments. This should be the standard tutorial prototype, as it is about perfect!!!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 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!!!! ❤
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!
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!
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!
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!
Yes! Amazing tip!! Helps with one very annoying Apple problem. Mid-word editing. I've just switched from Android (Samsung) after 12-14 years or so and I have to say, Apple leaves a lot to be desired in the text input and editing area. Especially dictation. It's horrible. Oh well... I'm on the hook for the next two years with my 15 plus, so I'll try to make the best of it.
I have been struggling with typing on my phones for years-basically after keyboards were removed from mobiles. My solution? I learned to dictate. Yes, it was a struggle at first. I dictated maybe 10% of what needed text. But now, I dictate about 90% of what needs to be typed. The big cellphone manufacturers have done a fantastic job improving the dictating software in their mobiles. Works for me! ~Brian
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.
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.
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!
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!
@@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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I am contemplating the purchase of an Iphone. I've never had one before nor even a touchscreen computer. And, I was reluctant to step up to a mouse - I was happy with MSDOS. All that finger stuff seems formidable. I hope my 80 yr old fingers enhanced with essential tremors can cope.
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 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.
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.
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
Just brilliant ! Great video! iPhone used to have a backup button, not to be confused with backspace . I wish they would put that back on the keyboard.
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
left side one hand keyboard was the most helpful to me. I have nerve damage to right hand and can only type with the left hand. It helped tremendously!
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!!
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!
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’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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!???
👍 Great tutorial, though some of it I already knew, some are helpful, most I wouldn't need... the one feature I really wish apple would give, is the number bar with the letters rather than having to hit another button first... a real pain for passwords
Ingenious as usual. I haven't got the three-fingered copy function to work on my 15 Pro Max, but I'm sure that, with a little practice, I can get it to work. I use many languages, but iPhone seems to be quite clever - if I get a message in Norwegian, iPhone seems to think I would appreciate it if it were setup to answer in Norwegian, and it has understood that I would like to do just that. The Italian keyboard will patiently allow me to add some words or phrases in English without protesting and vice versa. iPhone must have decided that I am a native-expat who came to live in Italy which is the case. Your suggestion to hold down a key (full stop, currency sign, etc) has opened up enormous possibilities for me Many thanks.
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.
Really clear! Just had a tough time following some instructions... When you say “tap here”... really hard to find where you tapped... had to rewind twice or more The On my way! ... is a great trick
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!
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.
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.
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.
AMAZING! So glad you popped up on my iPad Home screen. I’m a one finger typer and I have enough trouble with that. I have to go back and read what I wrote to correct any errors. I look forward to more of your tips and I will watch your previous videos. Thank you and you now have a new subscriber. 🙋♂️👍
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.
This is a great tutorial. I know a few of these, but the 'swipe keyboard' is a game-changer, and I forgot about Dictation. I use Grammarly, and to switch between the English keyboard and Grammarly's keyboard, I would go back to Settings>Keyboard>blah blah. Now, all I have to do is press and hold the emoji? Time saver!! Thanks. 👊🏼
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.
Thank you so much for sharing this. It's one of the best how to videos I have watched. Everything is explained clearly and the visual examples are so helpful. Thank you again for your time.
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.
Thank you! I finally understand why I have these random undo questions! I also learned about copy and paste by pinch and unpinch from this video. I knew the rest, I was quite surprised to know pretty much all of them
This is AWESOME. I’m 67 and there’s no way could have figured this out by myself. I went about half way and will incorporate those tips, and then go on to the rest. I might need to ask more questions then, so I hope you don’t mind two posts. Questions: 1. I have a habit of typing part of a sentence, and then want to switch to the audio feature for the rest? Is there a way to do this without deleting the typed portion and then starting over with the voice feature? 2. Is there a voice command to switch to an upper case letter without making it a general rule? For example, This is is a question: now it just starts with lower case which is grammatically incorrect. 3. Is there a way to return without it typing “return?”
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.
I know that all caps are considered yelling but I know that I have heard people with bad eyes type in all caps so they can read. Once I learned that reason, I started to notice more people typing in all caps were not typing angry words, just must have bad eyes. Just thought I would mention it.
Typing is simply a waste of time on such a tiny keyboard. I solely use dictation, and it works extremely well, though I must caution anyone who dictates that it is always a good idea to proofread before you send.
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.
WOW, where have you been all my iphone life?! You had me at text replacement and the ability to pin point and revise a word or spelling error with the space bar! Also learned Full stop = period. FANTASTIC! Thanks so much.
These tutorials are very good. The problem is the information comes across a bit too quickly for my slow brain. Is there anyway I could read what you are saying in print?
Great tips. Just a small nitpic here…. When using dictation, you used the word ”ease”, and the dictation wrote “these” 😉 Loved the tip of using the spacebar hold to make it more accurate and faster to move the cursor. Thank you.
I don't have an iPhone but I have lots of friends who do so I decided to watch this while I walked in the treadmill. Excellent video and I've shared it with quite a few folks. Thanks so much!
Thank you. Much help and your speech is so clear and at a speed I can follow. I am a senior. I recommend you to new users. Today going from S7 to S22. Nervous
Thank you so much! I’ve been frustrated especially with trying to figure out how to undo and I see now that there is not just one, but two ways on how to go about it. Very useful
It would be good to be able to place icons wherever you want them on the screen. I’ve just come back to apple after 4 years on Android. There’s still a few things that can be improved
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.
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 😊❤
Hey- you have turned this iPhone into a WORD PROCESSOR!! Will spend some time on these tips then LYK how practical they turned out to be. Thanks again😊
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!
Hey, this was really helpful. I think I will relearn how to type on my phone: right hand adjustment, use of swipe typing and spacebar cursor navigation! Thanks for introducing these functions. Greetings
Didn't learn anything new as a veteran iPhone user and gesture typist, but great video, would absolutely recommend to new users or anyone struggling with their keyboard. Text replacement is such a great thing, if you type names (e.g. of shows/games) that have stupid spellings or punctuation, you could use text replacement to type the name spelled "normally" or some abbreviation, and have it replace that with the actual, formal name. Also, Apple's "QuickPath" (swiping) keyboard is aware of your text replacement shortcuts, and you can actually trace (swipe) them out. (The only problem is, if the path over those letters is similar to the path over a common word, this will wreak havoc on your autocorrect.)
Fir and fur banished. Thank you. Discovered you can type a replaced word by typing the word and another letter at the end (so you are not typing the word to be replaced) and then backspacing to leave your word that won’t be replaced now. Best of both worlds.
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 :)

Totally agree. The facts and nothing but the facts. 👌👏
I absolutely agree!
I only discovered this UA-cam channel last week and I fully agree with your comments. This should be the standard tutorial prototype, as it is about perfect!!!
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.
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.
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.
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!!!! ❤
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.
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!
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!!
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!
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 a perfect primer for someone who still resents the passing of rotary phones, Selectrics, & CRT TV consoles. ✋😂😂 Thank you!
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!
Wow! Thanks Daniel for this video - really useful for the last tip on creating a shortcut for our own residential address!!! 👍👍
The press down space to get a free curser tip … mind blowing! Thanks
Yes! Amazing tip!! Helps with one very annoying Apple problem. Mid-word editing. I've just switched from Android (Samsung) after 12-14 years or so and I have to say, Apple leaves a lot to be desired in the text input and editing area. Especially dictation. It's horrible. Oh well... I'm on the hook for the next two years with my 15 plus, so I'll try to make the best of it.
I have been struggling with typing on my phones for years-basically after keyboards were removed from mobiles. My solution? I learned to dictate. Yes, it was a struggle at first. I dictated maybe 10% of what needed text. But now, I dictate about 90% of what needs to be typed. The big cellphone manufacturers have done a fantastic job improving the dictating software in their mobiles. Works for me! ~Brian
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?
I will have to watch this again to absorb everything, but thanks for covering many things I didn't know.
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!
Fab tutorial. No extraneous stuff! Holding down the space bar for the cursor will be so helpful. Thank you 😊
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.
Hi this is a great video to try this I didn't know about my keyboard. My favourite is the swipe is used it to type this, thank you😊
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
I am contemplating the purchase of an Iphone. I've never had one before nor even a touchscreen computer. And, I was reluctant to step up to a mouse - I was happy with MSDOS. All that finger stuff seems formidable. I hope my 80 yr old fingers enhanced with essential tremors can cope.
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!
Great tutorial! Clear and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing this useful advice.
I added ‘@@’ to my text replacements to quickly fill in my email address, saves me a lot of time :)
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. :)
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!
Awesome tips! Love the space bar/track pad tip. I always need that one. Thank you.
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.
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
Just brilliant ! Great video! iPhone used to have a backup button, not to be confused with backspace . I wish they would put that back on the keyboard.
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
left side one hand keyboard was the most helpful to me. I have nerve damage to right hand and can only type with the left hand. It helped tremendously!
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!!
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!
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’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
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.
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!
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. 😎
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.
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!???
👍 Great tutorial, though some of it I already knew, some are helpful, most I wouldn't need... the one feature I really wish apple would give, is the number bar with the letters rather than having to hit another button first... a real pain for passwords
Another great video - that “Text Replacement” is a killer feature….which I wasn’t aware of …. thanks :- )
Ingenious as usual. I haven't got the three-fingered copy function to work on my 15 Pro Max, but I'm sure that, with a little practice, I can get it to work. I use many languages, but iPhone seems to be quite clever - if I get a message in Norwegian, iPhone seems to think I would appreciate it if it were setup to answer in Norwegian, and it has understood that I would like to do just that. The Italian keyboard will patiently allow me to add some words or phrases in English without protesting and vice versa. iPhone must have decided that I am a native-expat who came to live in Italy which is the case. Your suggestion to hold down a key (full stop, currency sign, etc) has opened up enormous possibilities for me Many thanks.
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.
Really clear!
Just had a tough time following some instructions... When you say “tap here”... really hard to find where you tapped... had to rewind twice or more
The On my way! ... is a great trick
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
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.
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.
AMAZING! So glad you popped up on my iPad Home screen. I’m a one finger typer and I have enough trouble with that. I have to go back and read what I wrote to correct any errors. I look forward to more of your tips and I will watch your previous videos. Thank you and you now have a new subscriber. 🙋♂️👍
Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you're enjoying the content!
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.
This is a great tutorial. I know a few of these, but the 'swipe keyboard' is a game-changer, and I forgot about Dictation.
I use Grammarly, and to switch between the English keyboard and Grammarly's keyboard, I would go back to Settings>Keyboard>blah blah. Now, all I have to do is press and hold the emoji? Time saver!! Thanks. 👊🏼
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!
Thank you so much for sharing this. It's one of the best how to videos I have watched. Everything is explained clearly and the visual examples are so helpful. Thank you again for your time.
Thanks very much for the kind words!
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?
Thank you! I finally understand why I have these random undo questions! I also learned about copy and paste by pinch and unpinch from this video. I knew the rest, I was quite surprised to know pretty much all of them
if my fingers would shrink 30% all my typing problems would be solved on phones
No kidding !! I never move the keyboard left or right because that makes the keys even smaller!
😂 amen to that!
This is AWESOME. I’m 67 and there’s no way could have figured this out by myself. I went about half way and will incorporate those tips, and then go on to the rest. I might need to ask more questions then, so I hope you don’t mind two posts.
Questions:
1. I have a habit of typing part of a sentence, and then want to switch to the audio feature for the rest? Is there a way to do this without deleting the typed portion and then starting over with the voice feature?
2. Is there a voice command to switch to an upper case letter without making it a general rule? For example,
This is is a question: now it just starts with lower case which is grammatically incorrect.
3. Is there a way to return without it typing “return?”
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.
I found your video very helpful, I’ve had an iPhone for many years but learned from you. Thank you.
I know that all caps are considered yelling but I know that I have heard people with bad eyes type in all caps so they can read. Once I learned that reason, I started to notice more people typing in all caps were not typing angry words, just must have bad eyes. Just thought I would mention 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.
Typing is simply a waste of time on such a tiny keyboard. I solely use dictation, and it works extremely well, though I must caution anyone who dictates that it is always a good idea to proofread before you send.
After watching this I took the plunge and gave the right-sided keyboard a try. So far I’m liking it. Great tips. Thanks. ☮️
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.
WOW, where have you been all my iphone life?! You had me at text replacement and the ability to pin point and revise a word or spelling error with the space bar! Also learned Full stop = period. FANTASTIC! Thanks so much.
These tutorials are very good. The problem is the information comes across a bit too quickly for my slow brain. Is there anyway I could read what you are saying in print?
Great tips. Just a small nitpic here…. When using dictation, you used the word ”ease”, and the dictation wrote “these” 😉
Loved the tip of using the spacebar hold to make it more accurate and faster to move the cursor. Thank you.
I don't have an iPhone but I have lots of friends who do so I decided to watch this while I walked in the treadmill. Excellent video and I've shared it with quite a few folks. Thanks so much!
Thank you. Much help and your speech is so clear and at a speed I can follow. I am a senior. I recommend you to new users. Today going from S7 to S22. Nervous
Thank you so much! I’ve been frustrated especially with trying to figure out how to undo and I see now that there is not just one, but two ways on how to go about it. Very useful
It would be good to be able to place icons wherever you want them on the screen. I’ve just come back to apple after 4 years on Android. There’s still a few things that can be improved
Ok wow. While each tip had its value, the spacebar as trackpad one blew me away. That one little change will save so much future annoyance. Thank you!
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.
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 😊❤
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!
Hey- you have turned this iPhone into a WORD PROCESSOR!! Will spend some time on these tips then LYK how practical they turned out to be. Thanks again😊
Wow! In 8 minutes I learned so much about the iPhone keyboard. Brilliantly delivered video with clear and concise information.
I'm practicing using these tips that you've given us. I think that they are great. I'm going to teach my family these tricks.
Great video! Should probably have mentioned that shake to undo and slide to type functionality need to be enabled in the settings.
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!
Hey, this was really helpful. I think I will relearn how to type on my phone: right hand adjustment, use of swipe typing and spacebar cursor navigation! Thanks for introducing these functions. Greetings
Some things I didn’t even know what you were making reference to at the end so had to turn on caps - so i’ll be looking forward to future videos😊
Didn't learn anything new as a veteran iPhone user and gesture typist, but great video, would absolutely recommend to new users or anyone struggling with their keyboard.
Text replacement is such a great thing, if you type names (e.g. of shows/games) that have stupid spellings or punctuation, you could use text replacement to type the name spelled "normally" or some abbreviation, and have it replace that with the actual, formal name. Also, Apple's "QuickPath" (swiping) keyboard is aware of your text replacement shortcuts, and you can actually trace (swipe) them out. (The only problem is, if the path over those letters is similar to the path over a common word, this will wreak havoc on your autocorrect.)
Fir and fur banished. Thank you.
Discovered you can type a replaced word by typing the word and another letter at the end (so you are not typing the word to be replaced) and then backspacing to leave your word that won’t be replaced now.
Best of both worlds.
Generally, 15-20 percent- depends on the service of the wait staff.
Man, you're the greatest gift to older people trying to maneuver iPhones!! THANK YOU!!!
That’s great to hear, and is exactly why I make the content!
Wow , this is very impressive, the majority of the tips I didn’t knew till now . That’s why is good to browse on UA-cam , you learn a lot everyday .
Saved my life. Typing between words was a pain in the a. Thanks a lot :)
