Can OW implement a way to type in chat with your phone?

I play on PS5 and most people don’t use voice-chat when playing in-game. There are many times when I want to communicate with my team in the chat, but it takes way too long to type with a controller. Does OW have any way to text in the chat with your phone’s keyboard? If not, can that please be added, I feel like it’s a necessary quality-of-life change

Keyboard in the USB port? You can get dirt cheap ones if all you’re gonna do is type.

That could work, but I really don’t want to spend any money just so I can type in-game faster. That is a reasonable alternative though

I speculate (since I haven’t tried) there are no official means of using Smartphones to type in game since there needs to be permissions, which require legal stuff and a lot of hand shaking.

But there might be people who are more tech savvy that can point you in the right direction. Just beware, most will prey on your inexperience.

Console players were so lucky when they never had to deal with text chat.
