The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro introduced a number of innovative features, from the Dynamic Island to satellite connectivity. But among the many features that iOS 16 brought to every iPhone owner back to the iPhone 8 and iPhone SE (2nd gen) is a keyboard feature that is absolutely worth turning on.
