This iPhone space bar trick could CHANGE the way you text
It's been a function for THREE years!
Last updated 20th Nov 2018
iPhone users, have you ever needed to move your cursor around in a message to correct a typo or add in a word, and find your 'fat fingers' are just getting in the way? Well, this Twitter users seems to have solved the problem pointing out a feature, which is understood to have been there for three years - just no one knew about it!
That's right, as the tweet reveals, by holding down the space bar in a message and moving your finger, you can move the cursor! There's no needs to try and drag the cursor in the message itself!
After just a couple of days, the tweet has amassed a huge 104K likes and hundreds of comments with one saying, 'Mind boggling', another commented 'i never notice this till now lol'. sic
One more Twitter user joked, 'I was today years old when I learned this!'
In fact, this revolutionary 'discovery' doesn't stop there. As some other social media users have pointed out, this function is actually available on all buttons on the keyboard, not just the space bar!
And... we haven't finished there. For some users, it's also possible to highlight a whole word or sentence, if you hold down the button a little harder!

The 'discovery' of this feature comes just a week after WhatsApp revealed that users would need to back up their messages to Google Drive if they wanted to view them in the future.
Luckily for users, there were a few simple steps to follow so you don't lose those precious messages and pics that you've been receiving for years!
