How To Use Your IPhone's Keyboard As A Trackpad
This is another iPad Basics tip that seems to come up often in forum and support discussion threads: what to do when the space bar key is missing from the iPad's keyboard in the Safari browser app. Hard press the left edge of your iPhone's screen and move your finger to the right side of the screen to swipe away the current app (or home screen) and go to the app you were previously using. Swipe left to get to the Apple Pay icon. There's an Apple iPhone trick that people started talking about recently, and it's really useful for editing blocks of text after you begin typing.
When you tap the camera loop icon in the word suggestions bar, the Gboard app itself will open right to its GIF maker where you can choose between a regular "Loop" or "Fast-Forward" GIF using your rear camera or selfie cam. To get it done, open an app where you can use Apple QuickType keyboard.
And if you don't have a haptic keyboard, like on an iPad that's not the latest, use two Tech fingers at once for the same effect. If you are chatting via Messages and then decide that it would be good to talk, in iOS 12 you can simply tap on the icon for the person you are texting and it will reveal options for either an audio or FaceTime call.
And it's not just Notes and Mail; tap to top works in most iPhone apps. Tap and hold the single quote key for the same options for single quotes. Each key on the keyboard can be assigned a function — whether it's to a specific contact, an app, or sending an email.
Schedule Do Not Disturb: If you want to be sure random email messages and Facebook alerts don't wake you up in the night, go to Settings > Do Not Disturb and then toggle the Scheduled option before choosing a time for it to be on. Then tap Add New Keyboard†and find Emoji in the list.
You can also add a control to Control Centre, and access it quickly by swiping up to access CC and tapping on the battery icon. Just add in the text and its respective shortcut and the next time when you type in the abbreviation, SwiftKey will automatically bring up the expanded version in the prediction tray.
