shortcut your email on iOS

Ok, this is probably something people have already thought to do, but I only today figured it out. What’s screwed up is that I already knew about the shortcut feature in iOS (I hated the fact it defaulted ‘omw’ to ‘On my way!’).

Basically I end up having to type my email address fairly often, and typing email addresses on the iPhone isn’t the easiest. Soooo, today I setup a couple of shortcuts. You can set these up by going into Settings > General > Keyboard and then clicking on Add New Shortcut.

I setup the following shortcuts:

@@

My personal email address

@w

My work email address

@p

My phone number

Now I can just type those whenever I need to give my email address.

I’m trying to think of other shortcuts - if you have any ideas, share them in the comments!
