Why Apple Autocorrects 'omw' to 'On my way!'

- If you’ve tried letting someone know that you’re on your way with a quick omw text on an iPhone, you were probably surprised to see the abbreviation autocorrect to ‘on my way’ with an explanation point. This is caused a lot of frustration. Since people who typically abbreviate their messages don’t want to sound that enthusiastic about something so mundane. Plus, other text abbreviations like lol or smh don’t autocorrect to ‘laughing out loud’ or ‘shaking my head.’

When I say omw it autocorrects to:

Ah, the eternal saga of autocorrect woes! I as well try to convey "omw," however as such it transmogrifies into a verbose declaration of my imminent journey, adorned with grandiosity and antiquated charm. Same tale of linguistic mischief here! Foretold by the ancient autocorrect scrolls…

I play Minecraft and I work with command blocks frequently. Text replacement is a godsend, because I don't have to remember those long and precise commands.
this is real, i will type “build_house” and it will type out a real long string that will build me a house
SAME. I’ve made `{place` expand to `{“minecraft:can_place_on”:{“blocks”:[“”]}}`, (for items with JSON parameters) `//vision` expand to `/effect @p night_vision 99999 1 true`, (for night vision) and `.traw` expand to `/tellraw @a {“rawtext”:[{“text”:””}]}` (for the tellraw command)
You're playing on Mac? That's cool how macOS is giving you an advantage in programming command blocks over Windows. Not that it wouldn't be easy to create a similar solution for Windows users.
@@SonicXRage I play on MCPE, but yeah. It's interesting that Minecraft players on Apple devices have an advantage over their Microsoft counterparts, because of this one little feature.
@@SonicXRage That isn't just on iphone. That feature exists on almost all devices that you can type messages and stuff.
also no one has advantage over anything in this case. I think microsoft has Block Bench and Its own VSC extension to make minecraft modding/datapack easier. which is also available on mac
Nah the most annoying one is atm correcting to at the moment.
Like I wanna talk about cash from an atm, or if I’m genuinely talking about at the moment atm just reads quicker
that’s not a default. You might want to check your Text Replacement settings and remove that, because that means that either somebody added it to your phone or you added it a long time ago & forgot, because that is not a default text replacement like omw is 💀💀
@@nutella_wewerehere Yes. That's what I use atm for too.
I taking money out of the at the moment machine haha
That doesn’t happen to me
I just make it autocorrect to Automic Teller Machine
Last I checked you can also add words or phrases without an abbreviation, so when you start typing it you will get the option to autocomplete. I think it’s helpful for unusual names or jargon that usually get autocorrected to something else.
Thanks, that actually helps a lot. I genuinely just planned on leaving that and fighting it since I thought it was just a weird autocorrection thing.
my keyboard is in Portuguese and it corrects "fds" to "fim de semana" (which means "weekend"), and it's frustrating because "fds" is used as an abbreviation of a swear word in Portuguese and it gets autocorrected to weekend.
and no, i didn't get it first try
🇧🇷 Tenha um bom f*da-se!
we gettin to the real basics with this one
Honestly, I didnt even know about this, and this video made me go to my phone settings and remove the omw text replacement lol, so it was actually very helpful
eh i actually was intrigued by this, i removed the autocorrect long ago but never thought about why it was a default in the first place

I genuinely do not understand how people keep their autocorrect on, I turned it off and never looked back, it's annoying as heck to have to go back and fight with my phone to not correct something 😭

Once again, another mystery solved. Thanks Greg.
Found this out a few years ago, but glad to see your take on it.
Bro unintentionally just made the best tutorial ever
I just realized it’s ‘omw', because in my region, everyone uses ‘otw’ (on the way) instead.
The funny thing is that this feature is present for other dictionaries as well, and I found it relatively quickly after switching to iPhone. The abbreviation is not used in my native language but the two letters are commonly used in longer words, so it's easy to stumble upon this feature when typing slowly. It's for a similar phrase as well, and only for that one. I always wondered why this one in particular, especially since the phrase is not that popular to begin with. But it served it's purpose, I learned about the feature quickly, but anyway, never added own abbreviations
Thanks man, this actually helped me lol. I was thinking about this the other day😂
the On my way! text replacement makes me and my friends giggle so hard we love it
the exclamation point does it for me. like if it just said on my way it would be one thing but the exclamation point makes me wanna say ‘nvm i actually have to cringe in bed all day’
I use text replacement feature to express irregular verbs in the preterite in Spanish. For example, if the word conducí is typed, apple can sometimes autocrrect it to conduje. The former is commonly misinterpreted as the yo form in the preterite, but it is actually the voseo form in the present tense. The main purpose of text replacement on apple devices is to autocorrect mistyped Spanish verb conjugations.
I personally love this feature and I’ve got a huge list in there for all my text replacement so I can I out the jumble of letters and have it come out looking professional still and actually readable. Wish more used this feature because about 80% of the time I’m looking up what smh or others like it stand for.

THANK YOU! This showed up in my recommended and I didn’t know this was something that could be turned off
To save you 2 minutes it's because it's a default text replacement you can delete (or add your own) from General > Keyboard > Text Replacement.
No idea why this needed an entire video
Because this is the Apple Explained channel and although I already use the feature, I didn’t know why Apple included omw, so I found it interesting. If you don’t care about quick and simple explanations, maybe this channel isn’t for you. Have a day. 😊
@@ArbysMom no I like the channel and he makes quite informative videos sometimes. Just other times he makes videos like this that are equivalent to a 2 second google search.
@@jimjamjon2285 Considering over 1,000 people liked it in three hours, I’d say why this needed an entire video was because people found it informative and/or interesting. If you don’t, fine. Just move along. 😊
@@ArbysMomBruh why are being like this? They outright said they like the channel, they are literally just offering some constructive criticism regarding content. "The number of likes" doesn't mean it's good. Brainrot memes and clickbait videos gets millions of views, does that make it quality content? I'm not trying to be a white-knight for an internet stranger, but god, I seriously cannot stand the whole "if you don't like, don't watch" mentality...how tf was I supposed to know if liked the video or not before watching it?? The title of this video made the reason sound way more interesting than just being automatically replaced text. I mean ffs, any good content creator will accept constructive criticism on their videos. Going off your logic "If they don't like it, they can disable comments". So tired of this logic fr
@@catsinskates In my opinion, "No idea why this needed an extra video" isn't constructive criticism. It's one thing for someone to say that they don't like the video, but to say it's not needed just because they personally have no use for it is not constructive. And I mentioned that this got likes, not views, which are not the same thing. And I never said "if you don't like, don't watch" because of course you can't judge a video before watching. So that's twice you've twisted what I said. The original comment I replied to said "No idea why this needed an entire video" and I gave a reason why, and suggested that if they weren't into that kind of video, maybe this channel wasn't right for them. When they replied that these videos are the equivalent to a 2 second google search, I expanded on my initial response of why this "needed" an entire video. My point was that despite the fact that a 2 second google search would give the answer, the video was more interesting, and I defended the creator so they'd keep making videos like it, as I got more out of this video than a google search does. When I need a "how to" for something, I actually prefer a text answer, but this was more than just "how to" and that's why I'm a subscriber. There are plenty of HOW Apple tips and tricks channels but this one goes into WHY. And then your "logic" about disabling comments... this logic is in your head, not in what I said. Maybe reread my comments from the perspective of me showing that I like these videos the way they are, and that I *do* find them needed, because they're interesting.

That's actually quite a smart strategy. Lord knows how many features are in Android settings that 95% of users don't know about because you literally have to looking for them to know about them.
Do you know of any good ones? I recently switched to android and so far have found some fun/ useful settings

On my way! On my way! On my way! On my way! On my way! On my way! WHY
I once used this feature to pass my coding exam. We all knew what we need to learn for this exam but this was just too much and I didn't want to remember everything, but luckily I could write the code on my mac during the exam. So I just binded the whole code we needed to learn to some shortcut like "qrtw" or something like that, and then just typed that when the teacher wasn't looking. After few simple tweaks everything worked just fine :))
Back to the iPhone with the home button! I liked the iPhone with the home button.
I’ll be honest. Before this feature, I never even knew that “omw” was even a thing.
Yeah, I actually thought that Apple might have just made it up as an example.
My friend encountered this exact issue. His solution ‘o m w’
texting: kk omw
texting with apple: Ok! On my way!
Apple is greatly underestimating the tech savviness of their users
No apple knows their target demographic 😂

no shit, when his entire channel is based on a company known for not adding features so he has nothing to talk about.

He does video idea polls sometimes.
And yet you still comment on his video anyway.

This is scary because I was literally messing with that shortcut in my notes app 2 minutes ago and now I get this recommended
As someone with an iPhone 5s and an iPhone 12, it was there all the way back then and still has not changed💀
My boyfriend always uses this on purpose, even though I don't even have an iphone it has become part of my vocabulary and it's like "our thing" now lol.
i liked the part where he explained why it autocorrects to on my way
bro, ill be typing and be like “Oh, yeah im omw just gotta stop by the store.” and apple will be like “Oh, yeah im On my way! just gotta stop by the store.”
bro like I just wanna say The horses are galloping at immense speeds. I predict i will perhaps reach the destination you bistowed upon me soon.

Text replacement is a miracle
I counted and I have about 163 things set to autocorrect including four spellings of Sofanthiel, the term “scugged,” and a bunch of combined words from things like Wings of Fire (fireless, firescales, moonsbegotten, moonsforsaken)
Text replacment is best function ever
I never used apple in my entire life, this was very helpful
Your majesty, Thou horses are galloping at precarious speed, I may be arriving shortly.
i actually just turned that off yesterday, best decision i’ve ever made
some people be using text replacement for memes
a pretty mid one being "Bro the FBI is spying on me" but they replaced "me" or something with "No we aren't" so it showed up in the suggested words
This has been annoying me for the past year thank u for popping up in my recommended 🙏🙏
At least my friends and I have something to laugh at when one of us gets this autocorrect 😭
I used to think it was to prevent people from misinterpreting “omw” as “oh my word”
Not going to lie, that is a pretty awesome way of pushing folks towards looking into a feature. Unfortunately Apple didn’t take into account the large amount of people who would sooner work around a problem than spend a few minutes searching the internet for a solution
This is a pretty cool feature. I also used it to make “idk” turn into “I don’t know.” And “idc” turn into “I don’t care.”
Never knew that SMH means "shaking my head", thought it meant "somehow"...
I used to think it meant "So Much Hate"
On my way! Sounds happier so I’ll use it so thanks
Omwimagine saying omv (a gas station chain at peast in my country) and apple thinking you want to on my way
wait until someone says "oh my word"
It also does this for different languages because I noticed my tab also included итд to и так далее (ect to and so on) for Russian.
I actually used omw as “oh my world” so a lot of convos got really confusing when it corrected to “On my way!” 😭
i actually knew this, i found the text replacement settings and saw the omw thing there many many years back
i think i mustve looked up the feature or something for use but im not sure
On my way! To tell my friends about this
I did had that question too with the Portuguese word “Estou Indo” witch has the same meaning of on my way
I always thought smh was somehow and not shaking my head I’m a idiot
Pro tip: If you have a word that you type frequently but the autocorrect keeps ffing it up, add it to the text replacements with no shortcut and it will no longer autocorrect it
