Type the word in the Phrase area, and leave the Shortcut blank (unless you want to add a shortcut while you're at it). On an iPhone, head to the Keyboard menu under General settings, and enter any nonstandard word by choosing Add New Shortcut. You also can go straight to your phone's dictionary. Eventually it will internalize your feedback. If you catch your phone in the act enough times, you can fix the problem by x'ing out the suggestion on an iPhone or long-pressing the word on an Android device and pressing the check mark. Smartphones tend to do pretty well in their correctionsbut sometimes they can be a tad overzealous, automatically changing what you mean to say into an absurd malapropism. Can we teach our phones to stop doing this? Fill in a word that you don’t want your iPhone to auto-correct into both the Phrase and Shortcut fields, and tap Save.My friends and I often text each other about meeting up at the same two restaurants, which have names that our phones always autocorrect to completely different words. Then, tap the Add icon at the top-right of the screen to start creating a shortcut. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement. For instance, you can set “Ryzen” both as the trigger and replacement, and your iPhone will never change that to “Ruben” or “Ryder” again. For example, you can type the acronym “HMU” and have the phrase “Hit me up” show in its place instead.īut you can also take advantage of Text Replacement to override Auto-Correction for words that it fails to add to your iPhone’s dictionary. Text Replacement is a feature that allows you to trigger long phrases with the use of shortcuts. That’s where Text Replacement can prove useful. To make matters worse, it may even end up “learning” your mistakes and repeat them over and over again. Use (or Double-Check Your) Text ReplacementsĪuto-Correction doesn’t always save new words no matter how much you undo or type them into the onscreen keyboard.
Any words you insert that way should eventually save over to the iPhone’s keyboard dictionary.
