    I know the feeling. There is something strange going on with Text Replacements. There is always somewhere a problem with the list being gone or not being synced. Problem is that the list is deep in iCloud, so users cannot erase or reset this!

    Same thing happened with my iPhone 5. But my iPad Air 2 is fine. I'll report it too.

    Oh my god, I did it! Okay, here's how (I don't know if each step if necessary):

     

    1. Go into Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement

    2. Only the default one was shown for me

    3. Go back to Keyboard (I had all switches enabled)

    4. Turn off Auto-Capitalisation, Auto-Correction and "." Shortcut

    5. Immediately turn off your phone without leaving the page

    6. Turn it back on

    7. Go into Settings > General > Keyboard

    8. Turn all switches back on (wait some seconds?) and go into Text Replacement

     

    All of my ~200 text replacements re-appeared!

     

    Steps I tried before:

    • signing out of iCloud multiple times - didn't work
    • adding/deleting new ones on the affected device - didn't work
    • adding/deleting new ones on a different device - didn't work

     

    I nearly gave up... And now they are back, yay!

    Apple should definitely add a "sync now" button or enable "pull to refresh" for this list.
