Especially while listening to music or watching a video and are wearing headphones or connected to a Bluetooth speaker. Hearing keyboard noises, you hear while typing on your iPad or iPhone can be annoying. When you hit the key combo for a shortcut, it will appear as a suggested entry – similar to predictive text. You don’t need to worry about accidentally hitting the key combo, either. But you can enter whatever you want, which is handy if you are unfortunate enough to have to type out a long document on your phone or tablet.

Then tap the + button and plug in your word or phrase along with the keyboard shortcut you want to use.įor example, “OMW” for “On my way” or “RL” could be “I’m running late” for chatting. To set it up, head to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement. This allows you to hit a few specific characters on the keyboard to enter in commonly used text.

If you end up typing the same word or phrase all the time, it can be helpful to create keyboard shortcuts to save time.

To make sure a period is entered after double-tapping the spacebar, head to Settings > General > Keyboard and flip on the switch next to “.” Shortcut. Inserting a period after a sentence with a simple double space is a great way to keep your typing experience fluid. To bring it back together, tap the keyboard button again and merge it. That will unlock the keyboard and cut it in half, and you can move it around the screen to where it works best. To split the keyboard, hold down the keyboard button in the lower-right corner and choose the “Split” option. This is a handy feature, especially when working through a document on an iPad or iPad Mini, because it has so much more screen real-estate than the iPhone. One trick that has been around since iOS 5 is the ability to split the keyboard on the iPhone or iPad. Head to Settings > General > Keyboard and turn off the “Predictive” switch. Many people find this a helpful feature, but if you don’t, you can turn it off.

The predictive typing feature tries to guess what you will type next and offers words at the top of the keyboard you can tap instead of typing the full word.
