Your iPhone has a HIDDEN trackpad that makes your life much easier
A SIMPLE iPhone trick can make editing your messages so much easier.
If you’ve ever tried to edit text on your iPhone, you’ve probably encountered a cursor issue at least once but Apple has built in a way to avoid this.

How to access your hidden iPhone trackpad
This hidden keyboard trackpad trick lets you go back and forth between each character in a text without having to furiously tap the display.
It’s useful if you don’t have nimble fingers and find it hard to click exactly the letter or word you need to edit.
Simply hold down the space bar when you’ve typed some text, and the keyboard will turn blank.
You should see the cursor on the screen enlarge for second.
You can move your finger on the blank keyboard that’s now turned into a trackpad.

Notice how your finger’s movement controls the cursor and how it moves much more easily.
If you own an iPhone 6S or later, you can also use 3D Touch – which is Apple’s nickname for pressing hard on the screen.
Do a 3D Touch hard press anywhere on the keyboard and you’ll unlock the same hidden trackpad.
The same trick will also work on an iPad.
Bear in mind this trick only works for messages you haven’t yet sent in a chat.
It also works well in the Notes app.
