SmartType shows relevant inline suggestions as you enter an abbreviation, so the text you need is always ready without switching apps or searching through notes. TEXT EXPANSION Create reusable text templates for everyday conversations and workflows. Add short abbreviations, organize your templates into folders, and find any saved item with instant search.
