How to Use the iPad's Nifty Flick Keyboard Feature

[RevTEG]

It is on mine, I have the 1st Gen iPad Pro 12.9. Not sure if that was a typo or not. Had it on all the betas for it too.

It’s on my first Gen iPad 12.9 also. Although, it’s not showing up in all apps which is strange.

Update... Actually I think Facebook app is the main one that it’s working in. Anybody know why?

It will show up on all the keys in apps that haven't been optimized for the 12.9" screen and, therefore, revert back to the standard iPad keyboard (the one with the large keys).

It’s the same as flicking up...

This is a great feature and for people who mix a lot of numbers into their text (like me) it's going to be a huge time saver. However, to me they got the direction wrong. It's much more intuitive to flick up, towards the symbol you're "shifting" to IMO. Maybe it's just one of those things that makes sense for some people and not for others, for example up-down flight controls in games with inverted option. Unfortunately as far as I can tell, Apple isn't providing an option to invert it.

I'm OK with flick-down for digits & symbols; especially since what I'd really like is for Apple to add flick-up for uppercase.
