Favorite text replacement shortcuts for iOS

Image 1. Click to open in original size.

I'm a fan of automating repetitive tasks. An example is sign offs in emails. Why should I write Best regards, Niklas by hand every time? I shouldn't.

iOS has a feature called Text Replacement. If you write a phrase that you have decided on beforehand, it will replace that by something else. I have a Text Replacement shortcut that is xbr. Every time I write xbr I am suggested to have it replaced by Best regards, Niklas. Very handy. Text replacements works throughout iOS.

Here is a list of some of my other favorite text replacements:

I also use text replacements for words and phrases that I know I often misspell or for capitalizing names that arent recognized by iOS spell check.
