The input method that allows users to glide a finger across the screen from letter to letter to form words, rather than tapping each key individually, has been available on iOS devices through third-party applications and eventually integrated directly into the operating system. This feature provides an alternative to traditional typing.
Its implementation on iOS offered users a faster and more fluid typing experience, especially on smaller screens. The gesture-based input method contributed to increased typing speeds and improved accessibility for users with motor impairments. It also leveled the playing field with Android devices, which had featured similar functionality for years.
