I do whatever it takes. Because it takes whatever.
I swipe. It’s so much easier and faster.
Oh @SQUEEKY2! Have I told you lately that I love you!
I don’t understand, I do whatever is required. When is there a choice?
Wait @JLeslie….assuming you have a modern phone, try swiping across your screen to spell a word.
Some keyboards allow you to swipe a word, some don’t. I do believe that with most cells, you have control over how you use your phone because there’s almost always an app for that. It’s just deciding what you want to do & researching which app will make you happy.
As far as I know, all smartphones are capable of swiping without doing anything to it. You simply put your finger on the first letter, swipe to the next, and so forth until you’ve spelled the word.
And don’t pick your finger up.
Pick your finger up between words.
I tap, but my child swipes, and I am amazed at the (admittedly) odd erudition of her autocorrect. It’s interesting to guess what the word was meant to be.
For example, recently, an attempt at “popular” autocorrected tp “puerile”.
I had NO idea I could even swipe-spell! I just tried it and was able to but it seems like there would be a lot of mistakes.
I tap to text and I swipe to answer the phone and to wake the phone up.
I have a Samsung, and there are probably a whole bunch of great features and quick settings that I’m not using because I don’t even know they exist.
I tap for anything that requires input of words/numbers/symbols/ etc. I have tried swiping and it’s not a technology I’m good at using.
No, I talk and listen on my phone. It’s a phone.
That’s the way I feel about cell phones!^^^
It’s a phone,it’s for giving and receiving messages,I have friends that tell me they don’t even turn on their computer anymore they do it all through their cell phone.
I don’t want nor need to be that connected to the internet ,I am on it enough.
Neither. People call in, I call out. That’s all.
@kritiper do you have to touch the screen to answer? My phone has “answer” and “decline” on the screen and I have to tap it or swipe it or in some way touch the screen in order to access the call, otherwise it just rings and goes to voicemail.
I never liked the errors that came out when swipe typing. swipe can be faster that tap typing, but i prefer less errors.
It depends on if she is cute or not. If her picture isn’t attractive I swipe left.
@jca2 There is no screen. It’s just an old fashioned land-line wall phone. The (separate) Caller ID (function) shows me who is calling and allows me to answer or not.
I swipe type common words because it is more accurate than tap typing.
@gondwanalon LOL, no kidding. So does mine. Sometimes I have to poke and jab and slash. Especially if my fingers are cold. Hey, for those of you with the same issue I learned this trick from a cashier who had to deal with customers who had issues with self-check out touch screens. If you bend your index finger and touch the screen with the back of the second knuckle below the nail.
It does work if you hands are horribly cold. I think its because their is less flesh between your vein behind that knuckle than there is at the tip of your fingers.
