The easiest method

On iPhone, the most reliable method is to copy ™ and paste it where you need it. This works in Messages, Instagram, TikTok captions, product descriptions, email, and notes.

Make a text replacement

Go to Settings → General → Keyboard → Text Replacement. Add a shortcut such as “tmx” and set the phrase to ™. After that, typing tmx can expand into the trademark symbol.

Use it carefully

The ™ symbol is often used for brand names, product names, slogans, and features. It does not automatically mean the trademark is registered. For registered marks, use ® only when the mark is officially registered.

Does iPhone have a dedicated TM key?

No. A text replacement shortcut is usually the fastest long-term solution.
