You need to set typing mode to touch typing which causes the character to be 
inserted once you lift your finger from it having located it.

Alright folks. It seams we are talking at cross purposes. If double-tapping 
inserts a full-stop and a space, how do you insert a space without a full 
stop then? This is what I do to insert just a space:
- First, I have the typing style set to standard typing.
- I slide my finger on the onscreen keyboard until I find the spacebar 
(VoiceOver says space).
- I raise my finger and tap the scream twice.
- A space then is inserted without a full stop.
Isn’t this what everyone does? And if yes, what do you mean by double-tapping 
then please?
Sorry to be confused!

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.
