No Stupid Questions

Depends on the keyboard. I'm currently using Florisboard and swipe is nigh unusable. Lol

There are also no suggestions and no autocorrect (even though i usually have it turned off anyway).

Wait, why am i using this again...?

Nope

I tried it once years ago and couldn't get into it, found it kept guessing everything wrong or I was using it wrong, not sure. But just recently I got a smartwatch and heard many people recommending it and on such a small screen, it's incredibly good at what it does. I may try it again on my phone soon as I'm starting to like it.

I still to this day hate touch only phones and wish I had physical keys again. That being said, I use swipe, and it makes things a lot more tolerable.

It’s really the only way I type on a phone or iPad

Swipe to type always confused me, I just tapaway.

Swiping can be useful if I have fake nails on but largely I just individually tap with my thumbs

I do when one handing my phone, but when I unfold it I use both thumbs usually

Yes, I have been using swipe typing since the Nokia N9, which had this feature. However, there was a gap in my use when the iPhone didn’t support custom keyboards. It wasn’t until they introduced the capability and implemented it natively that I started using swipe typing again.

I still use nintype even though the dev disappeared years ago. Simultaneous double swiping and a VERY good learning dictionary. You can hit like 80 wpm without much effort.

Could never get into it. I'm forever pausing to think mid-word or mid-sentence, and it doesn't seem to work well in that circumstance.

Yup, been using Google keyboard pretty reliably for 8 years or so, but still need to use popup options and proofread and make corrections. I find the voice "typing" faster and more accurate now, but don't want to speak to my phone when people are around.

I find it to be much slower and less accurate than standard typing with autocorrect. I try from time to time for fun, or when I have only one hand available, but it's not something to be used day to day.

Not always. I'm not typing so fast.

I do more often then not and I’m on iOS

Yes, started using it about a year ago and it's amazing how much easier it is.

All the time, yes.

100%. I use a third party app called Nintype which actually lets you two-thumb swipe type - to my knowledge the only one that has this as a feature. It's so so much faster than single thumb swiping and peck typing once you get used to it. Sadly it's been abandoned by the dev, so I'll be gutted when whatever iOS version decides Nintype is too old and no longer supported

iPhones can natively do swipe to text and I love the feature. It also seems to have improved accuracy as a result of the iOS 17 keyboard updates. I always find myself mixing swipe to text and regular typing together. I hardly even think about it really.

I do. Not exclusively, but more often than not.

I tend to swipe (on Android btw) whenever I only have one hand available, and type when I have both. It works really well and barely ever comes up with a wrong with.

I have for years wouldn't go back

I used to use it all the time, but when I switched to a Dvorak layout it didn't seem as efficient as on QWERTY.

I use it, and combining it with autocorrect and suggestions I find it really easy and fast to use.

Sometimes, but mostly I use tap to type. Usually swipe is accurate, but I don’t always want the risk that it’ll get something wrong and it’ll take longer to fix it than if I’d just typed it straight away.

Yes, I use it all the time, it really works well and I am much faster than typing

I mostly use the swipe method on my iPhone, yep

Nope.

From time to time yeah, I heard that with enough practice I should be able to type faster

I usually swipe but it doesn't always fill in the right word...so if I'm sending a long or time-sensitive message I just type it out.

Excessively, yes. Most people look at me weirdly when I tell them I do, though, but I've grown quite fond of the swipe input method.
