Creating text replacements is actually pretty easy, and it’ll only take you a few steps. Here’s what you need to do: 1. Tap on a text field to bring up your iPhone’s keyboard. You can do this with a note, a message, or any other text. 2. Press and hold the Switch Keyboard Key (the one that looks like a globe) in the bottom left corner of your screen. 3. Choose Keyboard Settings from the pop-up menu that appears. 4. Go to Text Replacement. 5. Tap the plus icon in the top right corner of your screen. 6. In the first field, type in the full phrase you want your iPhone to write for you. 7. Then, tap the text field next to Shortcut and enter the shortcut you want to use. 8. When you’re done, tap on Save in the top right corner. And that’s it! You’ll find all your new shortcuts on the text replacement page. Just repeat these steps to add all the text replacements you want. Afterward, you can start testing your new text replacements. To do so, go to a message or any text field on your iPhone, type in the shortcut you just created, and press the spacebar. Your iPhone will automatically replace your shortcut text with the word or phrase you assigned to it.
