How to Add Words to iPhone Dictionary
Text Replacement makes it possible to add words to your iPhone dictionary. After you add a word to it, your iPhone will recognize it. From now on, it will not autocorrect it. With Text Replacement, you can also add shortcuts that your iPhone will automatically expand and write the full phrase when typing. Let me show you how. In step 6, you may also enter an optional Shortcut. For example, suppose you daily write ‘Hi Mom, have you taken your medicine?’ Now, you may add this sentence in ‘Phrase’ and under ‘Shortcut’ write med. After this, whenever you type med, you will get this suggestion. Just hit the space bar, and the whole text will automatically be typed. It is quick, helpful, and time-saving. That’s all, mate! The dictionary and shortcuts are synced via iCloud to all your Apple devices with the same Apple ID. So the words and shortcuts you add will also appear on your Mac, iPad, iPod Touch, and other iPhones. You may also be interested in:
