Hi. Just wondering if there is an app where I can save stuff I type often so instead of typing it every time I can just open the app, find the entry I want, copy it to the clipboard and then go paste it into a message or email.

Can't you use the auto text function on iOS to do this? GO in to general\keyboards and under the shortcut heading, you can add new ones.

What about writing the regular phrases out in the iOS Notes app and copying them from there when you need them? Although I agree with Scott, setting up some autotext entries might be easiest.

I don't think their is such a app but you can use the rotor when in a text field in the messages field switch the rotor to edit after selecting text select copy then open another app with a text field and then select paste and the text will be pasted in to that app.

Hi. Yes. I have tried shortcuts, but they only work to expand about 1 sentance. If I try to do more then that it does not work correctly. Am I doing something wrong or is this only used for short bits of text?

Yes. I thought of using notes, but there is no way to organise different bits of info. So messages I often send to people often and do not want to retype every time, phone numbers, passwords, email addresses and whatever I put in notes will be all mixed up together. I would like to be able to put different kinds of data in different places so when I am looking for a bit of data I need to copy to the clipboard I can look in the correct place instead of looking through all of my data.
