Enter degrees sign on the iPhone - how it works

The degree symbol is well hidden on the iPhone keyboard. We'll show you how to enter the symbol anyway.

iPhone / iPad: Enter the degree sign using the keyboard

1. Open the numbers and special characters using the ".? 123" button on the iPhone keyboard.
2. Then tap and hold the zero.
3. A small pop-up appears with the degree symbol you are looking for. Swipe up to enter the character.

You can reach such special characters even more easily using alternative iPhone keyboards. This practical tip refers to the iPad 3 with iOS 8.
