Fleksy has once again been awarded the Guinness World Record for “fastest time to type a text message on a touchscreen device.” The milestone was reached on an Apple iPhone 6 Plus.
According to Fleksy, Marcel Fernandes Filho, 17, used the company’s iOS keyboard to break his previous record of 18.19 seconds with a new time of 17.00 seconds.
“We’re very proud of Fleksy’s involvement in helping Marcel achieve this impressive feat,” said Ioannis Verdelis, Fleksy co-founder and COO. “The speed and accuracy Fleksy provides have yet again proven world-class.
