Adding words and phrases to the dictionary
For certain keyboard languages such as English and Spanish, you can add
frequently-used names, acronyms, and even phrases to the word
prediction dictionary to easily find them in the suggestion list.
Type even faster when you create text shortcuts to words and phrases. For
example, instead of typing the English phrase "Talk to you later", save
a few keystrokes by adding the ttyl shortcut. In your message or email, just
type "ttyl", and then tap the spacebar to enter the complete phrase.
This feature is available only for Latin-based languages.

tapping a suggested word that's not in the dictionary (usually the
first word shown in the suggestion list) automatically stores it.
