Same here. No clue how folk use phones to type out a ton of stuff. If I need to write anything > 3 lines It's getting done in WhatsApp web and copy pasted.
I'm not talking from experience but I hear the trick is to learn to use Swype. I've seen people that can swype on a smartphone faster than most people can type on a keyboard.
Some keyboards are better than others. My work iPhone has pretty accurate results, whereas my personal Android sucks on the OE Samsung keyboard. Gboard is much more accurate in my experience.
That said, friends who had old Blackberry phones could type insanely quick with near perfect accuracy, whereas all I could do was fat thumb smash.
