What are the steps to turn off handwriting mode on your iPhone and iPad?
There are a lot of things that makes the iOS system one of the best as it has many features that help us in many aspects and one of these is the handwriting mode. With this feature you can write with your finger the way you write on a sheet of paper with a pencil.
After typing, the phone is responsible for translating and capturing what you have written manually on the cell phone. This mode works in a large number of languages and you can use it mostly in the Messages app. What you should know is that this mode works only when you place the cell phone horizontally so you will have to have the auto rotation active if you want to use it.
But it may also be that you want to disable this function because you do not use it and it is not necessary to have it activated. That is why we will show you how you will be able to deactivate it on your iPhone or iPad.
From your iPhone settings
If you have an iPhone phone you will see that this function will be easy to deactivate. The first thing you are going to do is enter the apps menu and open the Messages application. Then you will enter any conversation you have started there. Now you are going to turn your cell phone so that it is horizontal and handwriting is activated.
At the bottom there will be a keyboard icon which you are going to press. In this way, the normal keyboard will become the default keyboard of your cell phone and handwriting will be disabled until you decide to activate it again.
Using your iPad settings
On the other hand, if what you have is an iPad, the change of the handwriting function will not change almost anything, to deactivate it you will do the following:
- Take the iPad and you will unlock it if it has any security
- Then you will enter the applications menu and enter iPhone iMessages
- Here you will open a chat you have with anyone
- Place the iPad in a horizontal position
- Now in the lower part of the keyboard by hand there will be several options among which will be the one for the common keyboard and you will press it
- When you press it, the keyboard will switch to this mode and will stay this way until you decide to activate the keyboard manually again
Why can’t you properly disable handwriting on your iPhone and iPad?
One of the things you have to do on some devices when doing a configuration on the system is to reboot the system. This is so because sometimes the system continues to use this function that you have disabled and to stop using it in the background you will have to restart the computer .
This is done in most cases with computers, but on phones it is also necessary to do this. For this reason, if you have done the whole process of changing the writing mode and it is still running, you will have to restart your iPhone or iPad so that the change you made is carried out correctly.
