It seems like everything on the iPhone has value after all. Starting with iPhone 8, you can now add gestures to the Apple logo on the back of your iPhone.

Scroll input is a standard feature in iOS 13 and later. Instead of tapping the keyboard while typing, swipe to it.

Swiping typing might seem difficult at first, but it’s a simple trick with the iPhone keyboard. Plus, once mastered, it’s faster than traditional typing.

For example, to type “techinminutes,” slide your finger across the keyboard and tap each alphabet in the word.

5. Create text replacements 

Do you often use long sentences, complex sentences or words? You don’t have to type them every time by making them shorter and easier to remember.

You can use this trick by setting up text replacement on your iPhone. The setup process is simple and only takes a few steps. However, remember to use short words that are easy for you to remember.
