Turn your keyboard into a trackpad. On iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, press the keyboard until it
turns light gray. Move the cursor by dragging around the keyboard. Without lifting your finger, press a
little deeper to select a word. Press twice to select a sentence. Press three times to select a
paragraph. After pressing, you can drag to select more text.
Undo the last edit. Shake iPhone, then tap Undo.
Save keystrokes
A shortcut lets you enter a word or phrase by typing just a few characters. For example, type “omw”
to enter “On my way!” That one’s already set up for you, but you can also add your own.
Create a shortcut. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard, then tap Text Replacement.
Have a word or phrase you use and don’t want it corrected? Create a shortcut, but leave the
Shortcut field blank.
Use iCloud to keep your personal dictionary up to date on your other devices. Go to Settings >
iCloud, then turn on iCloud Drive or Documents & Data.
Use an Apple Wireless Keyboard
You can use an Apple Wireless Keyboard (available separately) to enter text on iPhone. The
keyboard connects via Bluetooth, so you must first pair it with iPhone.
