How to send predefined/canned SMS/iMessages? Is there a way to prepare predefined/canned messages in order to quickly send them by SMS/iMessage on the iPhone or iPad? I find myself quite often using the same 4-5 templates:


I'm in a meeting, I will call you later!
I'm on my way
Ok, drop me an email!
Is it a good time to talk?
You can use the Keyboard shortcuts.

Go to


  Settings • General • Keyboard • Shortcuts


From there, you can add shortcuts, like omw for "On my way."
