Tech Tip Tuesday: Tired of tapping each key when typing out messages on your smartphone? Swipe-to-text, a feature available on most modern smartphones, allows you to glide your finger over the letters you want to type, intelligently predicting and forming the word you intend to write. Here’s how to get started:
- On Android: Most Android devices come with swipe typing enabled by default through Gboard (Google Keyboard) or other pre-installed keyboard apps. If it’s not activated, you can turn it on in the keyboard’s settings menu.
- On iPhone: Starting with iOS 13, Apple introduced the QuickPath feature on the default keyboard. Ensure your iOS is updated, and simply start swiping over the keys to type out messages faster than ever.
Swipe-to-text not only speeds up your typing but can also make one-handed texting easier and more efficient. Give it a try and see how much quicker you can compose your messages! 📱💨✉️
