The space bar, did you know?

[sonandhelpneeded]

So I have just discovered by holding down the space bar on my phone keyboard, I can move the cursor to wherever I want on my message....

This will save me hours of frustration and having to undo loads of text I actually want!

I thought I'd share, but maybe you all already knew abs didn't tell me?

AIBU to think this is genius?

That's brilliant thanks!'

Oh my thank you

I'm on a Samsung and it does nothing. But moving the cursor by tapping is pretty accurate and brings up a blue blob which you can drag if it needs repositioning.

😵 if only I’d known this! Thank you for telling me 😍

Well I just tried and that so didn't work on my phone!! Is this some kind of April fool a month early? Or a gullibility test? (That I fell for!)

Did someone mention cocktails?

It works in your search bar too .

That's must be why sometimes my texts starts typing in the wrong part of the message and that's a real pain.

I don't know where my spacebar is on my phone (Galaxy)

I'm a bit disappointed :( Before I clicked in the thread I was imagining some really cool space themed bar. Maybe with amazing cocktails and galaxies whirling ahead.

Working for me, thanks! Do find cursor a pain to place at times to correct something. Ooh it’s working on iPad too. This is one of those simple things that makes me happy!

Now somehow I feel guilty about all the dirty thoughts I've had about him.

Sorry to miss the point of the thread OP. As you were.

life changing revelation

Not on Samsungs, but I also just tap the screen and the cursor goes where I tap it.

Testing this to see what it does

Oh my goodness that’s clever!

I think this is from iPhone 6 onwards. It’s very handy as I could never get the little line where I wanted on my old iPhone 5

OMG - that's amazing! Thank you op!

Does it work on iPad

Oh yes it does!

Oh my goodness! Thanks for sharing, this will save me so much time!

I don't even have an iphone but I know this (I didn't discover it) because I can read and it's been on just about every social type website for the last couple of weeks ar least.

I still fail to understand though who spends so much time deleting stuff that this is anything more than an "oh really" kind of revalation.

This is amazing! thank you. And the tapping twice thing too. Brilliant!

dont get the cursor thing but the double tap for a full stop and space is handy

Love the double tap thing but space bar doesn't work on my iPhone SE, is it too old?
