Microsoft’s New Phone Makes It Easier To Type With One Hand.

But the standout feature for the keyboard is its “arc” mode; once activated, the keyboard scrunches up into an arc (for lefties and righties), which makes it easier to type with one hand, especially on larger iPhones.

Like any good phone keyboard, Word Flow comes with a predictive algorithm to anticipate your next word for faster texting.
