        "content": "Based on the available information, the FlickType keyboard for iOS **does not** include a dedicated gesture that sends a message directly. Users confirmed this and the company stated limitations from Apple\u2019s APIs prevented implementing such a gesture. Here's a detailed breakdown:\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd0d What the company says\n\n- According to FlickType\u2019s help forum, in 2018 someone asked about having a gesture to send messages (e.g. by flicking). The company responded clearly that **\u201cas of now we can\u2019t hook up a gesture option for send or any action key.\u201d** ([applevis.com](https://www.applevis.com/forum/ios-ipados/flicktype-half-screen-yearly-subscription?utm_source=openai))  \n- Their Quickstart documentation shows gestures like flick right to insert a space (or a period if flicked again), flick left to delete, and flick down to change the current word or punctuation. There is *no mention* of a gesture for 'send'. ([flicktype.com](https://flicktype.com/quickstart/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udc65 What users report\n\n- On Reddit, users note that FlickType doesn\u2019t have spacebar or delete buttons; instead, you use flicks (right = space, left = delete, up/down = change word or punctuation). There's no built-in gesture to send a message. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleWatch/comments/etm7tq?utm_source=openai))  \n- Users also mention that after typing with FlickType, they must interact with the Messages app\u2019s Send button manually (or similar UI depending on where the keyboard is in use). They do *not* say there is a gesture that triggers sending directly from the keyboard itself. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleWatch/comments/etm7tq?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \u2705 Conclusion\n\nFlickType supports a variety of gestures for editing text (spaces, deleting, changing words/punctuation), but **does not support a gesture that sends a message**. To send what\u2019s been typed, you still need to tap the Send button (or equivalent) in the Messages app or the outside button provided in the UI.\n\nIf you want, I can double-check whether any more recent version added a send gesture \u2014 maybe since 2024 or 2025 \u2014 in case they\u2019ve updated that. Do you want me to look that up?"
