when you hold the spacebar down on an iPhone to move the cursor? Well, I'm gonna blow your mind. If you do that and then tap the trackpad with your thumb and then drag the cursor, it'll highlight the text. But that's not very good because when you highlight the text, you can't then go backwards and deselect the text. So here's an even better option you've almost definitely missed.

So here's an even better option you've almost definitely missed. Type out your text and then hold down on the shift button with your left thumb. Now hold down on the spacebar with your other hand and move it left and right. Yep, this will not only let you select the text but also deselect the text when you go backwards. But wait, there's more.

But wait, there's more. If you want to copy and paste the text, you don't have to hit copy and paste. Just drag it and pick it up with your finger so it's floating. Then use your other finger to swipe that app closed. Move around, go to another app, all while keeping the text floating. And then when you're ready to paste it, just drop the text in with your finger and it'll paste it.

And then when you're ready to paste it, just drop the text in with your finger and it'll paste it. And if you didn't realize, this also works with photos. You can drag a picture from photos and then close the app and drop it somewhere else, like into a message. How many of these did you know? Let me know in the comments.
