Add More Domain Extensions to Your iPhone's Keyboard Shortcut to Type Email Addresses or Website URLs Faster
Add More Domain Extensions to Your iPhone's Keyboard Shortcut to Type Email Addresses or Website URLs Faster
Jun 17, 2025 am 11:41 AM
When typing an email or website address in a compatible input field on an iPhone, most people will manually type in the domain extension. But there's a much faster way to enter domain suffixes for email addresses and website URLs that you should be using on your keyboard. Even better, there's a way to customize what domain extensions appear in the keyboard shortcut!
Domain extensions or suffixes, officially known as top-level domains (TLDs), are the last part of an email or web address, following the root domain, and they begin with a dot. I'm sure you all know about .com and other popular TLDs like .edu, .gov, .net, .co.uk, and .org. Here are a few examples:
- gadgethacks.com
- gthx.app
- test@gadgethacks.com
Typing Domain Extensions Faster
There's a hidden keyboard shortcut on your iPhone or iPad that allows you to type TDLs more quickly. To use it, simply touch and hold (or long press) the period (.) key on your keyboard, keep your finger on the screen, and then slide your finger to a TLD on the list and release.
If you see a .com key, use that one instead of the period (.) key.
This shortcut only works in text fields that iOS or iPadOS recognizes as fields to enter email or web addresses, for example, the email and website fields when editing contact details or the search bar in a browser.
On an iPhone, in these types of fields, the period (.) or .com key will appear on the letter keyboard. If you don't see the period (.) or .com key on the first keyboard view, your cursor is in a regular text field. The period (.) key always appears on an iPad, no matter the text field type, but the TLD shortcut will only work in compatible text fields.

Customizing Your Domain Extensions Shortcut
The English (US) keyboard on your iPhone or iPad contains the most popular top-level domains: .com, .net, .org, .edu, and .us. However, you're not limited to just these TLDs.
<code>English (US) ------------ .com .edu .net .org .us</code>
When you add other keyboards from Apple on your iPhone or iPad, you may see more top-level domains, including generic top-level domains (gTLDs), country code top-level domains (ccTLDs), sponsored top-level domains (sTLDs), and even internationalized top-level domains (IDN ccTLDs) that use non-Latin character sets.
- gTLDs: The biggest ones are .com, .net, and .org, but you can also add .mobi and .info.
- sTLDs: You won't get .gov or .mil, but you can acquire .cat, which highlights the Catalan language.
- ccTLDs: This is the bulk of what you can add to complement .us, such as .de (Germany), .jp (Japan), and .uk (United Kingdom).
- IDN ccTLDs: There are quite a few of these as well, including any TLDs in the list below that aren't using Latin character sets.
All the extra keyboards on your iPhone or iPad that contain a TLD shortcut will have the five main U.S.-based extensions from the English (US) keyboard. Some will also include additional TLDs. Here's the complete list:
