Figured out 100° 200° 300°

stemc33 · July 2014

I just figured out how to use the degrees sign on an iPhone or iPad °°°°° no more typing degrees for me. 100° 200° 300°. I knew there was a way. Just thought I'd share my excitement. I know all of you droid users are thinking I'm crazy and all the iUsers are thinking I'm an iDummy for not knowing how to use my iStuff. But regardless, I can type a ° sign now. Woo-Hoo!

While I can use °, I usually go with * because it's quicker. Either way, I'm glad you figured it out, now you can post much quicker! :P

I figured the °was implied when talking on here when explaining temps. ie I cook mine at 300.

Android 500°.

It's there for Android too. And just a simple click away.

Sorry to burst your bubble. Apple is not as awesome as its marketing would have you believe.

@xiphoid007‌ I don't think he ever implied apple was "awesome", he merely figured out how to do it

Just letting people who didn't know how to do it ...

But where is the degree symbol on the iOS keyboard? It's in a secret place, hiding right behind the zero key.Tap and hold on the zero key, and you'll be presented with a little key pop-up that gives you the option. Just slide your finger over to the left until the degree symbol is highlighted, then let go.

For droid (depending on keyboard, this is my S4): hit "Sym" button on bottom left, hit the "1/2" button to switch to second page of symbols then it's the 3rd down on far left column.
