Intro

PowerPoint on iPhone supports keyboard shortcuts with an external keyboard connected. The shortcut set is smaller than on desktop. Edit-mode shortcuts cover text formatting and slide navigation. Presentation delivery shortcuts are available, though presenting from a phone is less common than from a laptop.

iPhone-specific shortcut notes

External keyboard required. PowerPoint's keyboard shortcuts on iPhone only activate with a physical keyboard connected.

Command modifier. PowerPoint on iPhone uses Command when a Bluetooth keyboard is connected, following iOS conventions.

Edit-mode coverage. Text formatting shortcuts and slide navigation work with an external keyboard. Advanced object manipulation is primarily touch-driven on iPhone.

Presentation delivery. PowerPoint on iPhone can run a slideshow, and arrow key navigation and basic delivery controls are available with an external keyboard.

Discovering shortcuts. Holding Command on a connected keyboard shows available shortcuts for the current view.
