    Oh yeah, I used to do that too, but now I just write out “approx”. I got burnt in a formal document once because they saw the ~ as a minus -

    On iPhone it’s easily available in the 123 sub menu. On a full 100% American layout keyboard it should be shift+` (backtick) to create a tilde. I dunno what weird keyboard you got though 😂

    I also like how it makes sentences feel all flowy and fancy ~

      Yeah, my 60% lacks a ` so I use f1-ESC for that and f2-ESC for ~, or will when I take the 20 minutes to figure out what went wrong after 8 years with this keyboard.
