Is this how most people type on mobile these days, drawing lines all over a keyboard instead of tapping the individual keys? I’ve never had an iPhone so I don’t even know if they can do this natively, but I know you can switch keyboards at least, so it should still be an option if not.
I usually just type as I find swiping unreliable.
As a side note, I just got a new phone with advanced haptics. This is the first time typing on a touch screen feels responsive 😯
