Use Text Replacement for Typing Shortcuts

The Problem

You type your email, address, and common phrases hundreds of times per year.

The Hack

iPhone: Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement. Android: Settings > System > Language > Personal Dictionary. Add shortcuts like 'eml' = your email, 'addr' = your address.

Why It Works

Text replacement works system-wide in every app. A 4-letter shortcut that expands to a 50-character address saves thousands of keystrokes per year.

Pro Tips

• 'eml' → your email address
• 'addr' → your full mailing address
• 'ph' → your phone number
• 'omw' → 'On my way!' (already built into iPhone)
