9. Adding Symbols With The Keyboard

Did you know that you can add special characters and other symbols on your iPhone’s keyboard? No more copying and pasting between multiple apps, it’s easier than you think.

The next time you’re typing out a text or an email, just long-press on one of the keys to look at that particular key’s symbols. It takes a little while to get used to, because different keys have different symbols, and not every key has symbols.

Examples:

-Tap and hold the $ to insert other money symbols, like ₽, ¥, €, ¢, £, ₩.
