Use text replacement on iPhone to speed up writing

Have any of you ever tried to type "sav" or "arr" on the iPhone and automatically see the complete sentence "Am I coming?" This is all part of a specific feature in the iOS settings and like any other, it can be customized or removed. In this guide we will therefore go to see how to use text replacement to speed up writing with Apple's smartphone.


Add a text replacement on iPhone

Before starting, we remind you that all the procedure we will see will be valid for any iOS device and therefore also for iPad and iPod touch.


  • To open "Settings" your iphone
  • click "General"
  • Continue with "Keyboards" and then with "Text replacement"
  • Click on the button "+" top right
  • Choose the whole sentence to add and the small abbreviation with which to activate it
  • Conclude with "Save" top right

At this point, every time you write the chosen abbreviation it will be written in a text field, it will immediately be replaced by the whole sentence. Obviously, the replacement can also be avoided by canceling with the key "X" to the right of the sentence.
