iPhone users are only just discovering a simple keyboard hack that will make writing a dramatic Instagram caption that much easier.
As sad as it sounds, the average screen time for internet users around the world is a whopping six hours 37 minutes per day, according to research from Data Reportal.
When it comes to the UK, Apple takes up almost half of the mobile phone market and most Brits certainly know their way around an iPhone.

But taking to social media, some users are only just finding out about a simple keyboard hack.
X account Today Years Old shared an image of an iPhone keyboard, hovering over the 'full stop' icon.
It turns out, if you hold the '.' icon, it gives you the option to choose '...' instead.
The three full stops usually indicate a bit of drama or broken thought, often used in our Insta captions.

Users are only just finding this out, with one person replying: "I just found out this exists, what!"
Another added: "Yeah, that's so much easier than clicking . three times. Submenus are just giant time savers like that."
"HAHAHA WHAT…" a third person replied.

If you're impressed by a simple keyboard hack like that, then you might be in for a surprise on Monday evening (10 June) when Apple is going to unveil a wide range of new generative artificial intelligence tools at WWDC (Worldwide Developers’ Conference).
Industry expert Ben Wood, the chief analyst at CCS Insight, said: “We expect that most features showcased at WWDC will be things we’ve seen before with examples including a host of improvements to photo editing and optimisation, transcription and translation tools, deeper integration of AI into automatic responses to messages and chat tools, and improvements to a suite of apps including Apple Music, Fitness and Health to make them feel more personalised.
“I think there will be a very slick demo showing how easy it is to edit a photo using generative AI to remove people from backgrounds or add missing elements.
“Numerous Android smartphones already offer this, but if Apple does it, suddenly everyone will get excited.”
There is also a rumoured partnership with OpenAI over ChatGPT being built into Apple products, which would massively improve Siri.

“I’ve been using the ChatGPT voice interface, and its understanding of questions and requests is the best I’ve experienced so far,” Wood said.
