Tips And Tricks For Using Its Coolest Features

Gboard is one of the best third-party keyboards available for iPhones, but you probably don't know everything you need to know about it to become a real Gboard pro and stop using Apple's stock keyboard for good. Times when I'm typing out a quick email or a bit long iMessage, I use the virtual trackpad on my iPhone to edit text more conveniently. Since Apple informed their service providers that the membrane is to prevent debris,” we're inclined to think any change in noise level really is just a secondary feature.

I wasn't expecting Apple to ever support this option, so I'm positively surprised by its presence in iOS 12. You'll see a screen full of numbers and special characters instantly appear, and you can then just swipe your finger (without lifting) to the one you want.

Not only have Apple fans just discovered the iPad Pro can double as a giant fridge magnet , but now we are all about to have our brains melted by the latest iPhone hack I bet you never knew about (because I didn't and I'm a tech reporter). You can also do the tap and hold trick on the shift key to quickly get a capital letter.

One of the best new features hidden in iOS is Screen Recording. The new mobile OS works with iPhone 5s and higher, iPad mini 2 and up, and the 6th-gen iPod touch. If you're typing, you'll find the little "A" App Store icon to the left of the text field. But these days, the key letters appear in lowercase until you press Shift.

On a 3D Touch iPhone, you can also press firmly to switch to trackpad mode, and press again to switch between moving the cursor and text selection. I would recommend you Apple start with Google's Gboard keyboard that has an integrated Google search bar, GIF support, and Emoji search.

Apple doesn't allow them access to Siri, so you can't use voice dictation when one of these keyboards is on the screen. The excellent Instapaper pops up a Return to Position command, for instance - and if the menu bars have disappeared you have to tap the top of the screen twice to activate the feature in the first place.
