I use it almost exclusively/when it makes sense to. But so many people are surprised that I use it.

Part of it is because I was an android user until about 2015 and that was always a feature on the phones I had. I also use it because I have small hands and the biggest iPhone so I find it easier to type one-handed sometimes.

    Absolutely. Far quicker and more accurate. Typed this out with gloves on just now.

    Although, I’m not convinced ios 17 is an improvement.

    Depends on what I’m typing. “lol” is super easy with swipe because the letters are so close.

    I LOVE swipe typing. I don’t know how people don’t use it. I tried explaining it to my wife to convince her to use it, and she wasn’t having any part of it. Just seems so much more efficient to me.

    When I only have one hand. Usually, when I am petting a cat with the other.

    I thought everyone used swipe. I can’t imagine typing characters one by one, it would take me forever. I’ve used Android up until the 15pm.

    I do most times.

    I was an android user too and that habit of mine was brought over as well. I just like because it’s much quicker.

    Speaking of typing, the new iPhone typing update has been horrible for me at least who uses an older iPhone. I mean I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max but only 12 and above get the better predictive text I think. Seems like now the predictive text is way worse. It always auto corrects to something that doesn’t make sense and does it too often. They added the thing where it underlines an autocorrected word so you can easily revert it but it’s just annoying to have to revert it.

    I almost exclusively use swipe type. Is so much faster. After you get use to it rarely make mistakes unless I pause mid swipe
