iOS Text Replacement… (futurology.today)

So I use this really cool feature a lot on my iPhone, and I really love how you can make text replacements. I have a lot so I could easily shortcut my way through conversations.

For example:

Whenever I type “tm” it results in “/me”, this is because I am actively on twitch and kick. This is the same with Channel Points.

What’s your thoughts on the iOS text replacements feature, do you use it or have you heard of it? I don’t see much people talking about this feature or maybe I’m not in the right zone of iOS.

To enable it if you have not yet knew about this feature;

Setting > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement

I use a bunch. Most common are for characters I can’t easily type, like the Apple logo  and ʻokina, which is used to properly spell Hawaiʻi, also a text replacement. Also these 🖖🏻 ™ 🤙. Have a few commonly used phrases too.
