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.

iPhone didn't have native swipe keyboard until 2019. I'm guessing a lot of people had iPhones for years without having a native swipe option so they just never bothered with it. I'm definitely in that category. Honestly I totally forgot it was even a thing until reading this post just now. After years of practice I'm crazy fast with two thumb typing, I can only imagine swipe would slow me down to the point of irritation.
