Arthritis in the fingers

Posted by dennismm @dennismm, 1 day ago

I have arthritis in the fingers of my right hand. Some fingers are even “slightly bent.”
How do I type on my iPhone when my fingers keep hitting incorrect keys? It takes me 10 minutes just to type a simple text! I can’t always use voice or an external key, so what’s next?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bones, Joints & Muscles Support Group.

In settings under “messages” there is an option to use a full keyboard instead of the keyboard on your phone. It’s under “hardware Keyboards.” It would only be convenient when you are home, but maybe there’s some kind of adaptive blue tooth key board you can find. I have a separate keyboard for my iPad and my iPhone, thought I don’t use it.

Thanks, tried stylus, voice dictation, external keyboard. Can’t carry external keyboard all over the place, too inconvenient. Apple can’t help!
