Have you ever struggled to move the cursor while typing on your iPhone? Selecting and editing text can be frustrating, especially with small screen sizes. But did you know there’s a hidden trackpad mode that makes text navigation much easier? Here’s how to use it.
How to Activate the Hidden Trackpad
- Open any app where you can type, like Messages or Notes.
- Press and hold the spacebar on the keyboard.
- The keyboard will turn into a trackpad, and the letters will disappear.
- While still holding, move your finger around to control the cursor precisely.
Additional Features
- Select Text Quickly: Once the trackpad is active, press harder (on 3D Touch-enabled devices) or tap again with another finger to enter text selection mode.
- Move the Cursor Faster: Slide your finger faster across the trackpad to jump through text quickly.
- Works in Any App: This trick works anywhere you can type, making it useful for emails, messages, or notes.
Why This is a Game-Changer
- No More Frustrating Cursor Placement – Say goodbye to tapping multiple times just to position the cursor.
- Easier Editing – Selecting and changing text is much smoother.
- Saves Time – Navigating large documents or long messages becomes effortless.
