You can also hold the Shift key to quickly enter all caps words and release just as you do with the 123 for numbers and special characters

[@amaliashroads9473]

I can def say I did learn a few things but it was a little bit too fast , actually more than a little bit too fast it was just way too fast but thank you!

[@laurasoftheart]

Tap your screen>go to the gear icon on the top of the screen> adjust speed to the speed you need.

[@dida5628]

Im trying one handed keyboard now. I knew this feature but never tried it. And wow, it is superbly convenient. Thank youuu

[@user-or2sl3ze3u]

This was very helpful. Ty

[@davepennington5150]

This was a good video. I learned many things that I did not know about the keyboard. Very helpful!

[@jeorassic]

Thank you. I have learned a lot on this video. Please keep creating contents like these. Would be lovely if you also create videos about other Apple products like MacBooks, iPads, Apple Watches, and etc.

[@anselmpeter]

Did someone noticed the icon swap of swift keyboard and flesky keyboard! I totally appreciate the effort of video editing but i see it as easter egg ❤

[@dplj4428]

Can you demo how to use Full keyboard Access to customize shortcuts and gestures inside a specific app?

[@BLTDFRNT]

this was great, thank you so much

[@EricWebSurfer]

I don’t think SwiftKey has the always show the number row option any longer. Is there a way to get that on an iPhone?

[@ChaseNFreedom]

The only feature needed

[@EricWebSurfer]

@@ChaseNFreedom Actually, I discovered what I was doing wrong. It does have that feature. You just have to give the app permission to log EVERYTHING you type including banking info, etc. That is a big price to pay for that one feature. And unfortunately, the hold-down-the-spacebar to move the cursor feature isn't as good as it is with the iOS keyboard. I don't know why Apple can't make that an optional feature. It seems like a really easy thing for them to do.

[@ChaseNFreedom]

@@EricWebSurfer yea that sucks. It seems like Apple always want us one step behind usable technology, while charging us for light years ahead innovation! I mean even early 2000’s phones had number rows and ringtones and videos. I vaguely remember when sprint let you have play back music for a hot second??? I believe that came out. Or was supposed to or something like that. But damn, seems like we had way more freedom and customization back then. Hmm.

[@mzr9710]

i think it would be more useful to mention that you can use the "look up" feature all across iOS in the places you can highlight a text, you can use it on ipad os and macOS too (on the latter, you can "force click" on words to do it even faster, but i believe only newer models have it, like after 2020)

[@dplj4428]

like that hold space then drag with other hand to highlight words you want to change.

[@extendedp1]

As a former Android user, this was very helpful!

[@HugoHedge]

I'm glad it was helpful. I might do a video for Android users who are switching to iOS. Would that be useful? :)

[@extendedp1]

@@HugoHedge yes, that would be cool! Thanks

[@marlongreen9195]

@@HugoHedgethat would be extremely helpful! One of my biggest issues with iPhones was the lack of long press for symbols on the keyboard. The long press and drag on the ‘123’ button method solves that problem. I’ve watched plenty of “iPhone tips and tricks” videos but this is the only time I’ve seen it even mentioned. Good work! More would be great!

[@user-fb8vv3ow2n]

Thank you for number tricks, before I saw this video I suffered with using numbers on IOS. It’s really useful tip.

[@arielspalter7425]

Some excellent and useful tips !

[@MarioHeadGames64]

we have any plans wow that works!

[@pearlsofwisdom101]

I am not sure how the zoom feature works when keyboard is enabled without doing anything. For me it only works when I double tap with three fingers when my keyboard is open same as you showed in the video. But in your case screen was not when keyboars was closed and automatically switched to zoomed view when keyboard was opened. How to do that? My smart type settings are same as you showed.

[@cecybmusic]

Replace words with emoji doesn’t even work on my phone. It just opened the menu bar.

[@lesliebarrett4390]

Thanks

[@mackellar829]

And to think... I thought I knew all the tricks. WELL DONE. Thank you.

[@officialtrendsetter]

Here l am a apple fan watching an video about apple and a Samsung ad pops up literally no other video this ad comes just on apple videos 😂😂😂

[@mikldude9376]

Yeah these big companies are a bit notorious for that , sometimes I’m looking at pixel videos and up will come an Apple advertisement 😊.

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

Swipe to type seems to be gone on my phone settings.

[@benno57]

Using your Memoji is great!

[@thehomiedan6378]

This was awesome. I actually learned some things I didn’t know already great job, bro.

[@dolyu.c.1044]

the production on this video was amazing new sub

[@djeckyadams3975]

100%. this is my second time commenting on a yt video. i’ve been on yt for years. just had to. production is fantastic! new sub

[@HugoHedge]

Guys, thank you so much! I actually kept doubting whether this kind of style (presentation "slides") would work. As far as I know, I'm literally the only one in the tech space who does this... so reading comments about how good my videos are, is definitely boosting my motivation haha

[@TechFromRony]

Best video on iOS keyboard

[@HugoHedge]

Thank you so much :)

[@lucid212]

This was helpful, Thanks! I didn’t know most of them.

[@HugoHedge]

Glad it was helpful! :)

[@user-bx5bh3yy3u]

Does anyone know how to activate numbers pad keyboard?

[@HugoHedge]

Download Microsoft SwiftKey in the App Store. Go to settings and enable Number Row.

[@moazmorshed5069]

Had fun watching this and picked up a few thing. Thanks for sharing

[@salxonico]

123 button? Do you mean numeral button?

[@boezzat]

very nice tips, thank you !

[@watchenthusiatstradersPakistan]

yes it's great

[@SaltAndVi]

Wow these are great tips, learned some very useful things. Went in thinking I’d know it all 😂

[@dianejoyjacobs6631]

Thank you for these “tips.” I hope you make more videos so I can learn more “tips.”

[@mco_txc93]

Very nice tips man, ty!

[@willortlinghaus6726]

Thanks for a great video - didn't know about many of the special characters!

[@mackellar829]

BRILLIANT. I love the tips. I just subscribed and 'liked' you. #23 will save me a lot of time. THANK YOU!

[@HugoHedge]

Love it, thank you so much! My next video will be even better than this in my opinion, and since you’ve subscribed, you won’t miss it out 🚀

[@MILABRRA]

THANKS BUDDY

[@yamil.343]

Cool! I didn’t know about the emoticons! 👍 😊

[@knifeman1122]

😮thank you!!! 🎉

Thanks, this was usefull.

[@muratsahin3926]

such a nice video. it helps. thanks

[@biaajulia]

Smart typing didn’t work on my iPhone

[@pearlsofwisdom101]

I also tried. Have you enabled the main zoom on top of that screen? If yes after you open keyboard you will have to tap twice with three fingers and it will be exactly same as shown. Doesn't work directly I guess. Or may be we are doing something wrong.

[@jonaykon]

10:52 you swapped the icon for fleksy and swiftkey lol

[@Powerful2922]

I like your vids so much

[@JJLuthor]

Very useful 👍

[@siloPIRATE]

5:12 so much easier when 3D Touch existed

[@Dude-e1l]

[@HugoHedge]

You’re welcome ＼(^ω^)／

[@christopher_campbell]

[@rajat10]

Jesus Christ… On Android, Gboard just has built-in Emoticon in the emoji section…

[@HugoHedge]

They do? I had no idea. Are you currently using an Android phone or did you recently switch to an iPhone?

[@PerlaOC]

( ◠‿◠ ) loving it❤

[@BadrsFunGamingYT]

[@BadrsFunGamingYT]

What about iPhone XR MT2K2LL/A

[@schwulersack8507]

I thought i will learn something new but my samsungs keyboard has much more features

[@mikldude9376]

Perhaps , but I think the iPhones keyboard predictive text might be a tad ahead of the galaxy keyboard , but yes the Galaxy does have a lot of customisation, I actually like the high contrast keyboard on the Galaxy , but I still prefer the iPhone keyboard , on the pro max the keys seem a tad bigger easier for someone with largish mitts.

[@freakyindia]

Awesome!

[@CareyJr77]

Very useful tips. Thanks
