How to count words efficiently on iPhone.
In daily work and study, we often need to count the word count of certain texts, such as writing Weibo, text messages, or other scenarios with a limited number of words. For iPhone users, there is no need to install additional apps to count words, because the iOS system itself and some built-in apps already provide the word count function. Here are several ways to teach you how to count words on iPhone efficiently.
Method 1: Use the memo or message app that comes with your iPhone.
Open your iPhone's Notes app.
Create a new note or open an existing note.
Type or paste the text in the note that you want to count the words for.
In the bottom left and right corners of the keyboard, find and tap the "123" key to switch to the number and symbol keyboard.
Press and hold the "+=" key until a new option appears, then slide your finger to select "Word Count" (Note: Some iOS versions may require you to tap the "Earth" key in the bottom left corner and then switch to the "Numbers" keypad to find "Word Count").
When you release your finger, the word count statistics for the current text will be displayed on the screen.
Note: The above methods may vary slightly depending on the iOS version. If you don't find word count in the Notes app, you can try the following. ）
Method 2: Use Pages or other third-party text editors.
Open the Pages app on your iPhone.
Create a new document or open an existing one.
Type or paste the text you want to count the words in.
Tap the Tools icon at the top of the screen (usually an icon with three dots inside a rectangle).
Select "Word Count" or a similar option in the drop-down menu.
In addition, there are many third-party text editor apps in the App Store, such as "Word", "WPS", etc., which often have a built-in word count function as well.
Method 3: Use shortcuts
Open your iPhone's Shortcuts app.
Tap the "+" icon in the top right corner to create a new shortcut.
Enter "Get Clipboard" in the search box and select the action.
Then search for "Calculate Statistics" and select the "Count Words in Text" action.
Optional) You can add a Show Notification action to receive a notification after the word count is counted.
Save the shortcut and give it a name, such as Word Count.
After that, whenever you need to count words, just copy the text and run this shortcut.
Method 4: Use Siri to count the word count.
If your iPhone supports Siri, you can also use a voice assistant to quickly count words.
Copy the text you want to count the words of.
To activate Siri, you can say "Hey Siri" or long press the Home button (for iPhones without the Home button, long press the side button).
Say "Count words" or similar instructions to Siri.
Siri reads the text on the clipboard and tells you the word count.
It is important to note that Siri's word count feature may vary depending on iOS version and region settings.
With the above methods, you can easily count words on your iPhone, whether using a built-in app or a third-party tool, which will meet your needs.
