Is this how most people type on mobile these days, drawing lines all over a keyboard instead of tapping the individual keys? I’ve never had an iPhone so I don’t even know if they can do this natively, but I know you can switch keyboards at least, so it should still be an option if not.

      Yeah, same, I think I had a paid version of Swype way back when and used that until they integrated it into Android. That being said, there are some words I will type in letter by letter, because some longer words require a lot of swiping, or won’t be recognized easily. Autodefenestration for example.

      The feature has been on the default Android keyboard for at least 8 years now. You just need to enable it.

      I really liked Swype but I used to have really crappy phones. Back in the day I remember it could take about 10 seconds to even show up.
