Here's a shortcut. That's a big time saver. Think of all the things you type that you read type over and over and over. For example, when you're making a text, you could tell people your email and you have to re type it, re type it and that takes so much time instead. This is like when you type in om W and it types in my way for you. Only this time, what we'll do is we'll have it type in your text, a phrase you use all the time, paragraphs, anything, so you can type it in once, and that's it.
And you put a little code word to it, and I'll type in for you. So go into settings, and go into general and then go into keyboard and then go into text replacement. And then click on the plus in the upper right hand corner. And here's a phrase so let's say Arnold's free nager wants to tell people his email. And so it's Arnold at Arnold Schwarzenegger calm. Well, that's gonna take a long time for him to type this every single time.
So instead, if he types it once in this phrase, and then in the shortcut, he could put a em for Arnold's email. But if because if he put as it could be as in that maybe isn't as good. So just something that is that you wouldn't be typing in a lot. So it gets right away that okay, am means nothing. So it must mean the shortcut, and then click Done and you're done. Here's an example using a phrase, click the plus sign.
So I have a book and it's called nature's secret messages. And usually with a book title, you capitalize the first letter of every word, and then you also it's nature's, so there's a apostrophe so that I have to fill that out. So instead, what I can do is put nature's secret messages in the phrase and put it with the apostrophe in the capital. Again, an M and s. And then for the shortcut, I can put an SM. And then that way, anytime I type NSM, it'll show me I can select nature secret messages. And so you can also use this with paragraphs or like something that you type over and over.
You could do this many different things. Click Done. And now let's test it out and write a text go into the text. And then we type in ATM for Arnold's email. And there it is, look at how much time that saves. I mean, it's so great.
And then and SM for nature's secret messages. And there I select it, and there it's done. So you have to select it in that middle bar there. So for example, so let's say I'm writing a text and I'll say check out my book, and then I'll put NSM Nate and also it will put check out my book, nature's secret messages and I selected and there it is. So your home play is to think of all the words phrases, emails, whatever you paragraph, whatever you type in, over and over, and assign that as a phrase and put a shortcut to it. And this is so valuable, it's gonna save you a lot of time and make things so much easier.
So that's your home play and then come back for more
