Number row on the built in keyboard.
Throw the whole keyboard in the trash. Why does it still look the same as the one that came with the iPhone 2g
😂
Can’t believe I’ve never noticed this. Now I will not be able to stop thinking about it every time I see the keyboard. It’s not like there’s not enough space to put another row of numbers either. Remove a little bit of padding on each row, especially above emoji and microphone icon, and you’d be able to fit another row without even losing any height of the whole keyboard.
How often do you guys write numbers? I rather have the screen space and hate keyboards that take up half the screen (like on Samsung). And intelligently coded apps/sites automatically load the numberpad keyboard if a field is a number input.
For the odd number on the regular keyboard just tap-hold-drag on the number symbol is really quick.
How often? Much, for sure. And I kinda don't like took an extra step to insert a number. Hold the alphabet keyboard to take a number also wastes many milliseconds.
Get SwiftKey and you can add it
If you set your keyboard language to Vietnamese VNI you can get exactly that.
Absolutely this. And is it so hard to a period and a comma on the main keyboard? Also the autocorrect is dismal compared to Android. The number of times a day mine just automatically capitalizes a word in the middle of a sentence makes me want to curb stomp the thing on a regular basis. Other than the keyboard though it’s a great phone.
The autocorrect feature requires a keyboard shortcut to correct the spelling. How stupid is it that I have to correct the systems dictionary? Seriously….
Thank you friend.
Just improve the keyboard. My Android phone swype was so much better
Scientific signs are so hard to figure out. The degree symbol is hidden, gotta hold 0 for it to appear.... could have been in small like a computer keyboard or android
I copy and paste them from browser then keyboard short cut to save it’s really annoying
+1
One of the many reasons I use swift key
It only took them 16 software releases before they added haptics to the keyboard so I’m guessing by 2037 we should finally get a number row!
