I don’t understand this. I’m not a newer user and not only do I type with my thumbs but I can’t imagine how to do it otherwise, nor have I seen anyone do so. Can someone clue me in?
Edit: do they mean like index finger typing? Is that a thing early adopters do?!
- Dalewyn 3y agoI use smartphones (including typing) by pecking at the screen with my ring finger, I find pecking with my index finger uncomfortable and my thumb too short to reach everywhere. I'm probably a useless sample, though. Because the "proper" way to thumb a smartphone is to hold it in both hands and use both thumbs to smother the phone. I find this impossible because I have unusually sweaty hands.
