Commas and periods are a great part of my native language (of course they are essential in many languages), yet I couldn't find a way to set up comma and period to show on my dad's new work iPhone the way they appear on Android -- on the first page of the keyboard.
Pagination is required to access not only periods and commas, but also numbers and to some extent accents (čšž via press-and-hold). The mentioned cursor-to-text snapping annoys me so much that I can't use that phone to write more than a couple words, yet this entire text was written on a touch-screen phone.
There exist apps to customize the keyboard, for example [0], that was recommended on reddit, but I did not test it yet. Like a lot of iPhone apps, those aren't usually free.

- mikelward 4y agoI think you're supposed to press on the .?123 key, keep holding, and then slide your finger to the comma or period. I assume pressing space twice inserts a period, too. Disclaimer: it's been a while since I used an iPhone, this might be out of date.
