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.

I've been using SwiftKey since like 2010 when I got my first smart phone that didn't have a keyboard (rip HTC Z).

Loved my HTC Z. I could type so fast on that thing

Annoyingly, my PKB stopped responding in patches, and they were out of production so they replaced it with a Sensation XL.

Flogged it when I got it, and went back to BlackBerry.

This Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 is pretty much the first touchscreen only phone I've had in about fifteen years.

I feel like the accuracy has gone down over the years. Also, Gboard has had an issue for a bit now where it will show that I'm swiping one long word but insert a different one when I let go.
