How to use QuickPath in iOS 17

The iOS QuickType keyboard includes QuickPath, so you can swipe your finger from one letter to the next to enter a word without removing your finger from the keyboard. To use it in iOS 17:

  1. Open the keyboard: Tap into any text field in an app to bring up the keyboard. 
  2. Start swiping: Instead of tapping individual keys, place your finger on the first letter of a word and slide it to the next letter, and so on, without lifting your finger. 
  3. End the word: Lift your finger from the screen when you’ve finished spelling the word. 
  4. Continue typing: The keyboard will automatically add a space, and you can begin swiping out the next word.
