IPhone Keyboard Tips And Tricks

Every time that you have a new technology it requires some learning to make it useful. However, this can sometimes be frustrating, especially when there aren't very many resources to help you learn new techniques. An example of this is the new Apple iPhone. When you first purchase an iPhone, you will probably spent many hours getting familiar with the various technologies and the way to access them that are inside this amazing cell phone. Often, there are some tips that aren't learned by simply playing around with the phone. Some of the best tricks you may not yet have discovered, concerns the keyboard.

When you have such a unique feature such as the touch screen keyboard, than there are several tips that you should learn in order tpo eloevate the flow of your messages. Following these tips will make it possible to type quicker and with fewer errors.

The first of these tips concerns actually typing the letters into the iPhone. When you want to enter a letter, you tap on it. However, the letter isn't placed onto the screen until you lift your finger off of it.

Thus, if you touch the wrong key, than you can simply fix this error by sliding your finger to the correct letter. Then when you have found the right letter or number, lift up your finger and the letter will be placed onto the screen. As you practice this tip, may of your previous errors will disappear, saving you time.

Many people have found that the auto-correction feature within the keyboard is a great way to keep your writing clear and fast. Sometimes though, it is a little too easy to accept a word that you didn't want to type. To steer clear of this confusion, spend a little time learning how to accept and reject a suggested word. When you want to accept a word, you will want to tap either return, space or tap a punctuation mark. However, if you want to reject a suggested word, than you will simply want to finish typing the word you want and then you will have to tap the completed word.

A reminder, if you write a full word out two different times, and then tap on them both times, the iPhone will actually add the word to its dictionary. It takes a couple of weeks to store all of your most used words into the dictionary. Still, once you have done this, typing on your iPhone will be extremely fast.

The last tip has to deal with the capitalization of words. If you want to capitalize the first letter of a word, you simply tap the shift key and then tap the letter you want capitalized... But what if you want to capitalize the entire word? This is very easy, and doesn't require you to tap the shift key before each letter. You will want to go to settings and then tap general, after that tap keyboard. From there you will tap "Enable Caps Lock," and then when you double tap the shift key, it will light up blue, and now you will be able to type in all caps.
