Your\u00a0iPhone<\/span>\u00a0($1,129 at Amazon<\/a><\/span>) or iPad<\/span> ($439 at Amazon<\/a><\/span>) both contain a bevy of cool hidden features<\/span>, especially since the release of\u00a0iOS 15<\/span>. While some are stashed away deep in your settings, other nifty tricks are hidden in plain view — like the secret trackpad in your keyboard.<\/p>\n

Usually when you’re writing a long text message or an email, you’ll hold your finger down on the screen to move the cursor to any area of text you want to delete, rewrite or edit. A magnifying bubble appears underneath your fingertip when you do, enlarging the text so that it’s easier to navigate.<\/p>\n

However, if you find it difficult to move your cursor so precisely with your finger, iOS offers another option. In this guide, we’ll show you how to access the trackpad that’s hidden in your keyboard, which makes it much easier to move your cursor and make edits to your text on your iPhone or iPad.<\/p>\n

How to unlock your iPhone and iPad’s hidden trackpad<\/h2>\n

Here’s how to discover the hidden iOS trackpad.<\/p>\n

1. <\/strong>Anywhere you’ve written a block of text, bring up your keyboard and press and hold your finger down on the space key<\/strong> until the keyboard goes blank. You should feel a bit of haptic feedback and see the cursor enlarge for a second, which means you can now use the keyboard as a trackpad.<\/p>\n

2. <\/strong>With your finger still pressed down, move it around the entire keyboard to move your cursor, just like you would on your Mac’s trackpad. <\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> To place the cursor, simply lift your finger off the screen. You can then use any of the other keys, like delete, to make any edits in the text. If you want to move the cursor once again, press your finger down on the space key to bring up the hidden trackpad.<\/p>\n
