Colon and semicolon on iPhone

Am I the only one still using a colon in my keypad on my iPhone? I’m trying to type a web address in that’s a contact point and requires a colon in its receiver info. This seems like a nonsense, manual input. Sorry they’re out of date but this is nonsense- not everyone moves as quickly as Apple.


Tired of doing the manual shortcuts myself. It’s annoying having to google a colon to do a copy/paste just to ; or : ...


Also, since I get to rant. I’ve asked for my last name changed for four years this coming December from Apple so if someone wants to finally recognize I’m married that’d be cool, too. You can take away my colon but you can’t take away my marriage license ;) Change my **** phone name already! And my laptop! And my Apple ID! And my IPad! And my Apple Cash. My god. How many times I’ve been purchasing these products and do I need to get married again to prove that I want this **** changed over?

no idea what you are on about talking about being married.

this is a user to user support forum, Apple is not here.

As a user of Apple products, could not care less about your marital status.

About the colon/semi colon thing, have you try to tap the "123" on the lower left side of your keyboard on your phone.



About changing your name, see this instructions: Change Name, Phone, Email preferences for your Apple ID on Mac

You can also try logging in to appleid.apple.com to make changes to your account.


I hope it helps.
