  Same, mostly my iphone friends. I don’t know why fewer of them seem to use it.

    iPhone didn’t have native swipe keyboard until 2019. I’m guessing a lot of people had iPhones for years without having a native swipe option so they just never bothered with it. I’m definitely in that category. Honestly I totally forgot it was even a thing until reading this post just now. After years of practice I’m crazy fast with two thumb typing, I can only imagine swipe would slow me down to the point of irritation.

      Wait you have to use two thumbs? Lame.

      I swipe with just one thumb, it’s fully one-handed
