IOS 5 packs text macros

• hullo 15y ago
  I hadn't heard this and am now incredibly excited at the prospect of never having to type my email address again.

  Ironically, I can't seem to view this page in Safari on iOS 5. Can anyone summarize what this says?

    The relevant portion of the article: In Settings > General > Keyboard you can now specify Shortcuts. Shortcuts are simply text macros: you enter a short phrase (btw, omg, etc.) and the iOS 5 input editor (SMSes, emails) will automatically expand those short phrases into full sentences. Whether this will prevent kids from typing in txtspk is another question entirely.
