Create text shortcuts
When using your iPhone, you may have noticed that some words or sentences you write are repeated from time to time. This can be, for example, the transfer of a contact to the customer in the form of a phone number, e-mail, etc. Instead of, for example, having to write the contact information over and over again, you can set up text shortcuts. Thanks to them, you can write, for example, just one or two characters, with the fact that it will automatically turn into the text of your choice. For example, you can set a text shortcut "@@", which after typing will automatically turn into your email, in my case pavel.jelic@letemsvetemapplem.eu. You can set text shortcuts in Settings → General → Keyboard → Text Replacement, where you tap on the + icon at the top right. Field Abbreviation is the shortcut you type and the field Phrase then determines what text the shortcut will turn into.

There are settings, for example, for allowed people and applications from which you will receive notifications, you can also set automations for turning the mode on or off, changing the home and lock screens, and much more. You set the concentration in Settings → Focus, where you can find everything you need.
