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.

TIL the creator of T9 predictive text also invented Swype

I still use Swype somehow? Not sure how the app is still working after it was acquired, and I thought, abandoned.

Have tried many other swipe capable keyboards and none compare for me for some reason (even though quality of Swype recognition has gone down noticeably over the years).

I thought it was just me. I swear the version of Swype that came with an ancient Motorola running Android 4 worked better than the version I use now.
