    Double-space for full stop

    This one might sound simple but it's a tremendous time saver that a surprising number of iPhone owners still don't know about. Instead of going to the symbol menu to find a full stop at the end pf sentence, you can just double-tap the space button. It'll add a full stop to the end of the word you've just typed, then a space, and then set you up ready to begin the next sentence with a capital.

    (You have to do the double-tap reasonably quickly. If you leave a lengthy pause between the spaces, iOS grudgingly accepts that you genuinely want to type two consecutive spaces like some kind of grammatical barbarian.)
