HOW-TO: Type Accents on Your iDevice

During my free time, I often use my iPhone to practice my foreign language skills. Well, not really, but a girl can dream.

From time to time, though, I do find the need to type an accent on my phone, since, according to the rest of the word, one mark can change a word entirely. In addition, my husband’s middle name requires the lovely umlaut, and to type his name without it just seems wrong.

To produce an accent on your iPod touch, iPhone or iPad, simply press and briefly hold the letter that needs the accent mark. You will soon see your choices from which to choose appear on the screen. Select your appropriate letter and you’re all set!
