Strangely, the period key is buried in the secondary layout. There\u2019s a much faster way to use it, though.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cdefault\u201d iPhone keyboard layout does not have the period key next to the spacebar like many other virtual keyboards. You need to tap the \u201c123\u201d key to find the period key on the secondary layout.

There\u2019s actually a simple trick that makes the period key much less necessary. All you need to do is double-tap the spacebar to automatically enter a period.

Who knew such a simple little shortcut could make typing on the iPhone so much easier? The period key shows up in the main keyboard layout when you\u2019re typing in an address bar, but that\u2019s the only place.
