How to change a text replacement on my iPhone?

Why does my text always correct me when I say omw. It corrects to On my way! which is hella annoying and no one talks like that unless your over 40 years. The correcting it really annoying and unneeded so me and many more people would appreciate if you changed it, thank you.

This is part of the system Text Replacement feature that lets you assign shortcut codes (e.g. 'omw!') to get auto-replaced with the expanded text ('On my way!'). Often used for abbreviations, or automatic spelling corrections.


It's controlled via Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Text Replacement
