Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone?

Is this how most people type on mobile these days, drawing lines all over a keyboard instead of tapping the individual keys? I've never had an iPhone so I don't even know if they can do this natively, but I know you can switch keyboards at least, so it should still be an option if not.

Do people NOT use it?!

I'm surprised how many people don't in this thread.

I've never used it before but so far it seems slower than just typing with my fingers. Too used to using two hands to type I guess.

I can already type pretty fast on my phone. Throw in the suggested word completion and I don't really feel like I need to use it.

I tried using it for a few months and just kept getting wildly inaccurate predictions. It wasn't any faster or easier so I just continue typing normally. Plus the multi-language recognition isn't good enough in my experience.
