Modern smartphones are packed with features and more features are added with every major software update. It is now not that easy to find even simple basic functions – or they are simply forgotten due to the huge range of functions.
Such a feature has been available on virtually every smartphone for many years. It is used to type letters, special characters and numbers more quickly. To do this, tap the “123” key on your keyboard, swipe over to the special character or number and then let go. Without further typing, the keyboard switches back to the letters.
You can use the function on both iPhone and Android phones. We will explain to you below how exactly you have to do this.

For the practical trick you have to do the following:
- Press and hold the “123” key to open the numbers and special characters menu.
- Now select the desired number or special character and then release the “123” key. Important: Keep your finger pressed the entire time, otherwise the trick won’t work.
The function may seem small, but it can save time in everyday life. It is particularly useful if you only want to insert individual numbers or special characters in WhatsApp or other apps.
