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.

    Both, I use swipe as my go-to method but if it doesn’t write the proper word I tend to erase it and type it one letter after the other (which happened 3 times as I wrote this comment).

      This is the way! Also what a lot of others already commented, that it’s more smooth to use with one hand. For me it’s also nice to use, when it comes to switching languages. English is my second language and with swipe it feels like the autocorrect works pretty good, because it is more forgiving if you don’t know exactly how the word is actually written. A small idea about how the word is constructed is enough.

      same, but with more mistypes, as the Ukrainian language has all these word endings that make words longer and harder for the keyboard to guess.

      This is very common if you switch languages often. Half the time I’m typing something in spanish and want an english word it jumps the gun and outputs a word I’ve never ever used, and viceversa. That said, I still prefer swipe.
