Texpand
What it is
Texpand is an Android app that replaces a typed shortcut with a longer phrase, such as a phone number, email address, or stock reply. Phrase lists let one shortcut offer several phrases to choose from. The app can insert dates in different formats and set a cursor position, and its site describes a range of customization preferences. Google Drive sync is listed for keeping data in sync across devices, and both plans include Tasker support. The Free plan costs nothing and supports up to 10 phrases, along with variables, phrase lists, Google Drive sync, and Tasker support. Premium costs $6.99 a month and provides unlimited phrases with those listed features. Texpand is currently available on Android. Its privacy policy says information requested by the app remains on the device and is not collected by the maker. The policy also names Google Play Services, Google Analytics for Firebase, and Firebase Crashlytics as third-party services. The maker says it uses commercially acceptable means to protect personal information, but cannot guarantee absolute security.
