If you poke around in your phone for a bit, you’ll find that keyboard options usually include a personal dictionary you can use to add words to avoid the dreaded "AutoCorrect screwed me." You can use this same set-up to save time (and typo frustrations) for things you type often or don’t want to use internet slang (on a somewhat related note, if you find your phone cleans up your language, you can use this or a new contact to avoid. Read more here). Here are some examples of shortcuts I have set-up:
A few notes:
Here’s how you can do it in iOS - we’ll go with lol and make it “Laugh out loud!” Open your phone Settings, then open General, then Keyboard. You'll see "Text Replacement" at the top of this menu. Open this menu, then click on the plus sign in the top right to add a new entry. Fill in the fields, then click "Save" Now when you type your shortcut, your iPhone will autocorrect it. You're done! Easy, quick, and a total time-saver.
