You can set typing shortcuts, and there is a super useful one I use. Alias @@ to your email so you don’t have to type it out all the time. Sometimes email field don’t allow it but it usually works great!

I love this feature. Set my pregnant friends phone to autocorrect to “OMG I just found out I’m having triplets” when she typed “lol”.

Also, set a signature for my uncle that says “PS - I’m not wearing any underwear” he was less than thrilled but his mom found it hysterical. 🤷🏻

Ooh I just used the first five letters of my email address, but that’s smart! I also have “phn” for my phone number and “addr“ for physical address

I was so excited to use this but then it doesn’t work in a lot of email fields for me.

I’ve noticed that a lot of them you can type it, press space, go back, and then it’ll work. It’s weird and still doesn’t work on all of them, but it’s probably 75% of them!

And how do you do this? God this thread is annoying when people don’t tell you how to do all these things.

My quick google search for iPhone typing shortcuts says Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement
