One Handed Keyboard – iOS 11 Protip

One disadvantage of the iPhone 6 and subsequently the 6+ is that unless you have super human long fingers, you have to type with two hands on the phone. Well, with iOS 11, you have a one handed keyboard!

Yea, Kawhi, this article ain’t for you man… just move along.. you got the reach to one hand type on an iPad Pro…

One Handed Keyboard You Say?

It’s incredibly easy to access as well! Go pull up your keyboard… I’ll wait.

Ok, press and hold on the Globe (or in some cases the Emoji) icon… you’ll get this:

One Handed Keyboard

Simply tap on the left or right icon to use your left or right hand! Once you’ve tapped, you’ll notice that keyboard squishes up to the left or right… putting all the letters within reach. (Note: Current US Presidents will still need to use both wee orange hands to operate)

You may get back to the full size keyboard by going to the same menu, or by simply tapping the white arrow in the unused grey space beside your keyboard.
