Step 8. Finally, tap on ‘Save’ in the top right corner, and you are done.
Now comes the more important question: what should you do with it? Setting up shortcuts for your email address and phone number is a common idea. The word for the latter may be something like @@ or eml, which you’ll remember but won’t result in undesired text replacement.
Now, there may be a situation where you just want to enter the abbreviation and don’t really want the text replacement operation to take place. If this is the case, then it is easy to reverse the text replacement entry, and this is how you can do it.
Step 1. Tap the Edit button in the lower-left corner of the Text replacement panel.
Step 2. To erase the phrase you wish to remove, tap the red minus icon and then use the red Delete button that appears.
This will remove the text replacement entry and you can now type in the abbreviation and the phrase will not be entered automatically. This is a very useful feature and there are no rules and you can create any combinations that you see fit. Please note that you do not need any third party apps to get this feature on your iPhone.
