#IOS TEXT EXPANDER HOW TO#

Popular ones like ASAP and LOL are good, but I still had to look for Urban Dictionary in order to know the meaning of an abbreviation. I got a DM from my Twitter friends yesterday using YMMV which I only had to google to find out is Your Mileage Can Differ meaning. Only then did I know how difficult it was for my parents to comprehend my text messages with all these Net Lingos I used. Such abbreviations, however, allow us to text faster and save a lot of time. iPhone users have an excellent feature that automatically expands these lingos in real time when typing according to your iOS settings.

HOW TO GET TEXT EXPANDER ON ANDROID TO TYPE FASTER And now, thanks to a Play Store app, Android users can get the same feature to type quicker, and still make sense.

The name of the app is Texpand – Text Expander and If you’ve enabled it, you’ll need to allow other apps to be observed and draw over them to make required replacements of the text. When Texpand is given all permissions and the services are switched on, it’s time to introduce some widely used words. To add a new sentence, tap the + icon at the bottom-right. Enter the sentence you would like to overwrite in the first text box, and enter the extended text in the next row. You will have some choices at the bottom of the screen that you can customize, such as auto text replacement and if you want to extend the phrase when it comes in between a letter. If you wish to save time, the auto-expander must be allowed here. Now you can open any application, and try Texpand. As soon as you push the spacebar button, the typed sentence will automatically be replaced with the full text. If you just want to use the lingo for this one time you even get an undo button.
