What Texpand is

Texpand is an Android app for replacing short typed shortcuts with longer text, such as a phone number, email address, or stock reply. Phrase lists let one shortcut present several possible phrases to choose from. The app can insert dates in different formats, use other variables, and set the cursor position. Its site also describes a wide 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 allows up to 10 phrases. Premium costs $6.99 a month and includes unlimited phrases; both plans list date and other variables, phrase lists, Google Drive sync, and Tasker support. The maker’s privacy policy says information requested by the app remains on the device and is not collected by the maker. It 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.
