iPhone Shortcuts & Feature Requests

I love discovering things by accident. It makes me feel much more in tune with the device or operating system. So with any product I get my hands on, I immediately get to know it as well as I can. What can it do? What can’t it do? Are there any cool hidden features or utilities not known or understood by the masses?

Since innovation clearly hasn’t skimped out on the iPhone, it’s natural that there are hidden talents built right in. Here are a few quick things I’ve discovered that you may, or may not have known about.

Typing

For Spanish speakers, the iPhone already has a comprehensive ability to understand Spanish vocabulary. But often suitable you’ll end up needing an accent mark or a tilde above a letter. In which case, holding down the appropriate letter

will give you a mini pop up menu where you can choose the appropriate mark for your letter.

Another handy typing tip is for punctuation. At the end of your sentence, most often decent you’ll use a period. Instead of hitting the “.?123” button and selecting the period, hit Space twice and it will automatically place a period for you and create the proper space for your next sentence.

If you aren’t planning on using a period at the end of your sentence, another simple trick is to hold down the “.?123” and slide your finger to the right punctuation, next release. that will automatically place the punctuation and switch right back to the qwerty pad.
