People are only just realizing there is a secret iPhone trick that turns your cell into a mouse pad

A TIKTOKER has revealed a little known iPhone trick that makes typing on the Notes app much easier.

Charles Trippy, a vlogger and the bassist for the pop rock band We The Kings, shared the tip with his wife Allie Marie Trippy.

The couple has a TikTok account (@charlesandallie) where they share relationship advice and other sneak peaks of their domestic life.

"I was today years old when..." the couple wrote over the clip from last month alongside a mind blown emoji.

"One of my favorite hidden iPhone tricks," they wrote in the description.

"Hey, do me a favor. Open up the notepad on your phone," Charles, who filmed the video, tells Allie at the beginning of the clip.

"This is going to be something pretty cool."

Allie had to type some gibberish before Charles could show her how to turn part of the keyboard into a mouse pad.

"Now press and hold the space bar," he said.

"Now slide it back and forth."

Allie was shocked as the cursor at the top of the screen moved seamlessly along the line of text she had just typed.

"Wowsers!" she said.

Pressing and holding the cursor itself to move it around on the text can sometimes be a challenge for iPhone users.

"That's the biggest problem I've always had," Allie said.

"That's so cool."

Some of the commenters below the couple's video were equally shocked.

"I never knew," one said.

"The more you know lol."

Another commenter noted that this feature isn't exclusive to Apple products.

"It works on Android too," they said.

"Even better," the couple replied.

A different TikTok user commented on how happy the couple seemed in their video.

"You're both so in sync," they said.

"Been watching you videos from the start. Love how happy you are now...

"Thanks for all the hard work."

An upcoming iPhone software update will will address some of the annoyances experience when making phone calls and recording voice notes.
