''Like gliding your scissors across wrapping paper''. This will actually change the way you send messages!
We genuinely can't believe we didn't know about this...
Up until now, we've been wasting our time trying to draft the perfect message, trying to squeeze the cursor into places it just refuses to go.
While it's not the end of the world, it's annoying enough to be a thing.
However, not anymore! All thanks to this little known hack that changes everything (if you have an iPhone).
The magic occurred this week when US food blogger Krissy Brierre-Davis tweeted her discovery after she tried to compose a text message.
Ms Brierre-Davis explained that if you click and hold the space bar, “you can move the cursor instead of trying to drag the cursor itself with your fat thumb”.
We tried it, and yes it works... Go on, give it a try.
How come you guys never told me this iPhone trick? I feel duped. pic.twitter.com/2RfRhI4Y1X

Naturally twitter users were also stunned by this discovery.
That space bar trick on the iPhone is completely messing with my head tonight. How did I never know of that before.

Savvy reader, Kurt Sanders, has since informed me that you can, in fact, use any key on your iPhone keypad to get your scroll on.
Just click and hold anywhere on your damn screen and the feature is yours to enjoy.
Again, wow.
