More accurate typing with iPhone’s virtual keyboard

keyboard

Key-presses register as you let go of the key, not as you press it. If you are having trouble hitting the correct keys, just press and hold as you type a letter. If you hit the wrong key, slide your finger and release when you are on the correct one.

As a result of this behavior, you can only press one key at a time. This can slow down advanced typists. If you press one key, and then press the next one with your other hand before lifting the first one, the second will not register. So if you are typing fast, be sure to do quick taps and bring your finger up quick so the next one can make a valid key-press.
