Maybe you just bought your first iPhone (good for you!) or maybe you simply forgot that your device offers a text replacement feature.
Text replacements can help you reduce typing errors and get your message across faster. You can create a shortcut and once typed it will expand into the full word, phrase or sentence you apply to it.
This is a handy feature for inserting things you type often, especially in text messages or emails. Here's how to configure and use text replacements.
How to configure text replacements
To start setting up your text replacements, simply open your Settings app and follow these steps:
1) Tap General – Keyboard.
2) Tap Text Replacement.
3) Tap the plus sign at the top right. Note that this screen displays any text replacements you have configured.
4) Type the phrase you want to shorten. For example, you can enter your email address, a phone number, or a phrase you use often.
5) Type the shortcut you want to use. For example, “@”@ can match your email address,
6) Tap Save at the top right.
After pressing Save, you will return to the text replacement screen where you should see the shortcut you just added.
Now every time you type, just press the shortcut and you will get the urtext.
