A developer has found a hidden feature inside the iOS, by hacking it; he discovered a one-handed iPhone keyboard. This feature is designed to resolve the issue of accessibility, a problem commonly encountered on larger-screened phones. The keyboard is activated by either left-swiping or right-swiping from the edges of the standard iOS keyboard.
This feature has been there since the time of iOS 8! This unreleased feature can only be uncovered by hacking the iOS Simulator – Apple’s software that allows you to simulate the iOS operating system on your Mac for development purposes.
Today's fun hack (been there since at least iOS 8); the iOS keyboard has an unused left/right one-handed mode. Activated by edge-swipe pic.twitter.com/zIk7x7CVmu— Steve T-S (@stroughtonsmith) 19 October 2016

Video or it didn't happen: (very hard to engage in the Simulator with a mouse cursor) pic.twitter.com/vw2wpCgiLJ— Steve T-S (@stroughtonsmith) 19 October 2016
As you can see in the video, there are options of cut, copy, and paste at the side of the keyboard as well. Steve has provided instructions on enabling the one-handed keyboard mode. The problem is that this procedure will only work if you jailbreak your device.
A little more context for anybody wanting to make a jailbreak tweak to turn this on (assuming one doesn't already exist - I dunno) pic.twitter.com/We5WymSXOa— Steve T-S (@stroughtonsmith) 19 October 2016
Isn’t that amazing guys, seems like Apple has been hiding this feature from all of us for all these years.
