       If you own an iPhone 6s Plus, 7 Plus, 8 Plus, XS Max, XR, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 12, 12 Pro, or 12 Pro Max, you can use a wide screen. Turn the phone to horizontal orientation. Tap Notes and then tap in a note to display the onscreen keyboard, which now takes advantage of the wider screen and includes some extra keys, such as Cut, Copy, and Paste.

      The Shift key

      Use the Shift button (it’s a wide, upward-facing arrow in the lower-left corner of the keyboard) to type capital letters:

       Tapping the Shift button once causes only the next letter you type to be capitalized.

       Double-tap (rapidly tap twice) the Shift key to turn on the Caps Lock feature so that all letters you type are capitalized until you turn the feature off.

       Tap the Shift key once to turn off Caps Lock.You can control whether Caps Lock is enabled by opening the Settings app, tapping General and then Keyboard, and toggling the switch called Enable Caps Lock.

       To type a variation on a symbol or letter (for example, to see alternative presentations for the letter A when you press the A button on the keyboard), hold down the key; a set of alternative letters/symbols appears (see Figure 2-15).

      Emojis

      Tap the smiley-faced emoji button to display the emoji keyboard containing symbols that you can insert, including numerical, symbol, and arrow keys, as well as a row of symbol sets along the bottom of the screen. Tapping one of these displays a portfolio of icons from smiley faces and hearts to pumpkins, cats, and more. Tap the ABC button to close the emoji keyboard and return to the letter keyboard.

      

A small globe symbol will appear instead of the emoji button on the keyboard if you’ve enabled multilanguage functionality in iPhone settings.
