We're probably all used to the emoji suggestions that rolled out with one of the more recent updates to iOS (e.g. when you type about Italy, the Italian flag emoji will be suggested). But did you know you can also create your own custom emoji shortcuts? Sometimes it's a real pain to scroll through all of the emojis available and it's so easy to forget where they're all located!
To create your own emoji shortcuts, go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement. Enter the emoji or emojis into the 'phrase' field and add the trigger word into the 'shortcut' field. You can also set up other text shortcuts that will save you a bunch of time. For example, you could create a shortcut that suggests your full email address or phone number, so you don't have to type it out every time.
