Are there certain phrases, addresses, or numbers that you find yourself consistently typing into your iPhone? How many times per week do you enter your email into a form field, or send someone your office address including the floor number and exact cross streets?
Now when you type any of these frequently used phrases that are tricky to type (think of that colleague’s email address that you’re constantly directing people to connect with), once you enter in those “Shortcut” triggers the full phrase will appear in a bubble and if you simply hit the spacebar the entire phrase will autopopulate. This can be used for commonly used URLs as well (I use “;;” as the shortcut for one commonly typed URL and “//” for another).This simply function will save you tremendous time. Trust me, invest up front in creating great shortcuts and it’ll make your iPhone experience much more enjoyable.
