Text replacement is a handy feature in macOS that many users don’t know. The feature allows users to create shortcuts for text snippets they regularly type, thus saving them time. For example, most of us type our email ID and address fairly regularly. You can create text replacement snippets to fill in these details. You can also use this feature to create replacement snippets for canned email responses, meeting note templates, and more. Here is how you can use text replacement on Mac.
