- vietor 16y agoAnswering the rhetorical question... I discovered it when I got momentarily distracted by something while entering text. On Android letters with alternate versions have ellipsis on the image of the character which pops up when you sweep over it.

- quicksilver03 16y agoTotally counter-intuitive to me, as many other aspects of the iPhone interface: perhaps this is why I never send text messages from an iPhone, and why I keep making calls when I just want to see the details of a contact. The iPhone was just made for somebody younger than me I guess.
