How To: Quickly Enter Additional Domain Options In iOS

When entering a website address into Safari’s iOS browser and you may have noticed that .com is available as a shortcut key. This is a great feature preventing you from having to continuously type it in.

Did you know that by holding down the .com button you will be presented with additional options for domain names as shown below:

As you can see the additional options I have are .net, .us, .org, .au and .edu

Simply drag your finger to the option you want and it will be entered. Please note if you lift your finger off the display the option will disappear.

You will most probably find that these options will be different depending on your region.
