Published: Jan. 4, 2019, 2:25 a.m.

Show Summary:

iPhone 101 demonstrations and reviews brings you another demo and this one is all about the Keyboard shortcut, Text Replacement. With just a couple of letters for a shortcut, you can populate the dialog box or page with commonly used phrases, names, hashtags, email addresses and anything you desire.

Head on into the shortcut keyboard settings and check out Text Replacement. In this demo Jeff Thompson will “add” a phrase and a shortcut that he can use at any time, saving him a lot of typing. You can use this for quotes at the end of messages, common sayings in Facebook, and signature sayings that you want to add at the end of emails. 

And with just two letters and the space bar, here is one of mine:

xc (space) "The Only Full Bigger Than the Fool Who Says He Knows It All, Is the Fool Who Argues with Him"
