iPhone keyboard has a hidden trackpad feature that is insanely useful. You can use it to move the typing cursor around your typed sentences or paragraphs and even select text on the screen for copying.
The hidden trackpad feature makes life easy and lets you edit text quickly and more efficiently. The trackpad feature is available in all apps where you can type, so you can use it in Notes, Mail, or any third-party app of your choice.
Use Keyboard’s Trackpad feature on iPhone
Here’s how you can use it on your iPhone.
- Launch an app like Notes or Mail.
- When the keyboard pops up, long-press the Space Bar.
- When you long-press letters on the keyboard will fade out. Keep your finger tapped and move it around. This will move the cursor around the text.
- Lift your finger once the keyboard is in the right spot and start typing again.
The keyboard trackpad can also be used to select text. When you long-press on the space bar and keys fade out, tap on the keyboard with another finger (without lifting the finger you tapped the space bar with). Now move the first finger around to select text. Lift your finger once you are done.
