Did you know your iPhone hides one of those features that’s been there for years but nobody notices? Yes, we’re talking about that tiny but mighty keyboard shortcut that can save you time and frustration when typing web addresses! By holding down the period key on the iOS keyboard while in Safari, Chrome, or any browser, a list of common domain suffixes like .com, .org, .net, .edu pops up — and even country-specific domains depending on your regional settings. This isn’t new — Reddit users confirm it’s been around since at least iOS 4, with some claiming to have used it even earlier. Some thought it vanished in iOS 26, but nope, it’s still there, just a bit hidden and confusing to find. Apple also fine-tunes the keyboard for different tasks — for example, there’s a special Twitter keyboard layout that makes inserting symbols and composing tweets easier. All in all, this little secret can make your daily iPhone use smoother, and if you didn’t know it, now you’ve got another trick up your sleeve. So, what are you waiting for? Try it out and tell us if it made your life easier or if you’re just mad you didn’t know sooner! Maybe it’s time for Apple to drop more of these hidden gems!
