Keyboard shortcuts are great for when you’re texting, they make typing out long sentences just a little easier. So it’s a shame not many people know about the iOS shortcuts feature.
To add a shortcut, just go to the Settings app, then click on the “keyboard” option. There, just select “add new shortcut” at the bottom of the screen, then add the shortcut and the associated phrase.
Whenever you type the shortcut in a text or email, the associated phrase will pop up.
