Repeating the same words over and over again—like your email address, home town, or common responses—can be tedious and time-consuming. Thankfully, if you own a Samsung Galaxy A26, A36, or A56, there is a convenient and efficient tool at your own fingertips that can help: Text Shortcuts.
Text shortcuts, or keyboard shortcuts, or text replacements allow you to associate a short keyword with any longer phrase. For example, “addr” could automatically be substituted with your full home address, or “brb” could be substituted by “Be right back.”.
This not only saves you time when typing but also improves accuracy and productivity—especially for frequent texters, emailers, and mobile multitaskers. In this tutorial, we will walk you through step by step on how to create text shortcuts on your Samsung Galaxy A26, A36, or A56.
