Build a Quick Reply Templates Shortcut for iPhone

At least a third of the messages you send every day say essentially the same thing: 'On it,' 'Let me check,' 'Sounds good,' 'Sorry for the delay.' Typing these out each time is friction that compounds invisibly across a busy day. A quick reply templates shortcut for iPhone presents a menu of your most common responses — you tap one and it copies to your clipboard, ready to paste anywhere instantly.

How the quick reply shortcut works

Tap the shortcut and a scrollable menu appears showing all your saved reply templates. Select one — it copies to your clipboard immediately and optionally shares directly to your last active conversation. Build as many templates as you like by describing them to Turin. Common templates include professional sign-offs, common questions answered, meeting scheduling replies, and customer service responses.
