Disabling slide to type on an iPhone 15 is a simple process that can be done in just a few taps. This feature, also known as “Slide to Type”, allows you to swipe your finger across the keyboard to form words. While it’s a nifty tool for quick texting, not everyone finds it useful or efficient. If you’re among those who prefer tapping each key individually, you’re in luck because turning it off is a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before diving into the steps, it’s important to know that by following this tutorial, you’ll be turning off the feature that lets you swipe on the keyboard to type out words. This can be particularly helpful if you often find yourself making typos with slide to type, or if you just prefer the traditional way of typing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tap on the Settings app on your iPhone 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Settings app is the one with a gear icon. You can usually find it on the home screen. It’s where you can tweak and customize the settings for pretty much everything on your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scroll down and tap on the General option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
General settings are where you can adjust the more nitty-gritty options of your iPhone, such as date & time, keyboard settings, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the General settings, find and tap on Keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Keyboard settings are where you can modify features like auto-correction, text replacement, and, of course, slide to type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Find the Slide to Type option and toggle the switch to the off position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The switch will turn from green to grey, indicating that the feature has been disabled. No more accidental swipes when you’re trying to tap out a message!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After you complete these steps, your iPhone 15 keyboard will no longer interpret swipes as an attempt to type. You’ll be back to tapping out each letter, which can help improve typing accuracy for some users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
