Yes Steve, all has been explained and sorted now. LU gave valuable information 
about changing voice-over commands. Many thanks for your reply though.

Hi Amro,

That's because you're using standard typing mode.

If you were using touch typing mode, then those instructions would be 
correct.  I believe you need to double tap the space bar twice, if you want 
to stay in standard typing mode.

All the best

Steve

Hi Kevin and all,

Have I been living on a parallel universe! *smile*

I’ve always tapped the screen twice with one finger to insert a space, and 
tapped the screen three times to insert a full stop and a space. I hope 
someone can give a horribly confused man a step by step instructions!

Cheers,

Amro

Sorry Ian, how do you mean? Surely for us VoiceOver users double-tapping the 
spacebar only inserts a space? Please explain. Double-tapping inserts a full 
stop if you are not using VoiceOver. As I said, I used to tap the spacebar 
three times to insert a full stop followed by a space.
The three-tapping ceased to work after upgrading to iOS 13 if memory serves. 
And I’ve checked the period shortcut in settings>keyboard and it is on.

Regards,

Amro

A double-tap on the spacebar. It works. I have just done it three times.

Hello all,
What is the shortcut to type a full-stop on the iPhone? This used to be a 
quick three tabs on the space bar on the onscreen keyboard but this no 
longer works. Many thanks.
