I use text replace to quickly enter my email. So I type ‘em1’ for my first email or ‘em2’ for my second email address, hit space, and bam it’s there. Never have to type out my email for logins or sharing it with others over messages.

I didn’t think I would find this video all that useful because I’ve watched a lot of IOS videos over the past 12 months. However I decided to view the video anyway because I’ve only been using Apple for a year and to my surprise there were several features I didn’t realize I missed out on. All of This just makes me miss android a lot less. Now if I could only get free music like I do on my androids IPhone would be my overwhelming phone of choice.
