How to Type Accents on iPhone and iPad

Typing accented letters on your iPhone or iPad is simple once you know the trick.

To type accents:

1. Tap and hold the letter you want to accent — for example, hold down “e.”
2. A small menu of accent options will appear (é, è, ê, ë).
3. Slide your finger to the accent you want and release.

Pro Tip:
This works for most vowels and the letter “c” (for ç).
