i upgrade to ios 12 in 21 of September 2018, and after one week the text replacement has gone, the whole list is now empty, before it was like 10-15 text replacement, why is that happens, any one can help me please ?! i have iPhone X
iPhone X, iOS 12
Let’s hope Apple will make the fix ASAP!!!
If Apple don’t fix it soon I’ll be forced to move to to android. Text replacement is utterly essential to me and I imagine millions of other business people Regards TOM
If they don’t fix by Christmas , I’m gone.
Agree!!!!!
I totally agree with the last comment. How do we make sure that a fix is included in the next update . If it’s not I’m asking Santa for a Samsung. 9.
Yeap I second that motion, hence my leaning to switch to Android ...
Goodbye CrApple... :-((
Wow. It worked for me. Thanks
Text Replacement is in Settings>General>Keyboards>Text Replacement. You can check there for any replacements that you have. There is no switch to turn it off, but you can add/delete from there.
Why has Iphone limited text replacements to 128 characters. . I depend on text replacements for stock replies. I can still see my text replacements but those over 128 characters just don’t work , So I have to copy and paste those exceeding 128 characters into my emails.
This is a game changer for me . I think I’ll change to an Android phone and use Fire Keys or something similar. Does anyone know of a comparable Android version to the old iphone text replacement.
Not sure if this an intended feature downgrade, or it's some dev touched a magic parameter, the supported text length is shortened a lot.
Extremely annoying! This is a regression, which should be picked up by apple auto regression cases.
Thank you for that Adelaida. Questions for Apple—
1. Why do this at all?
2. Why not make everyone aware that you’re going to do this?
3. Given the 128 character limit, why still allow for more than 128 characters in the text replacement phrase field within settings if it’s not going to work?
Sad! However, in the meantime, what I have done is to split the phrases longer than 128 characters into different shortcuts and numbering them like ad, ad1, ad2... unfortunately for me I can’t see myself using any other phone.
Adralia, you’re absolutely right! That’s just whack. Why would they arbitrarily decide to limit the number of characters in an entry?
You’re a good sleuth, I think we’ve solved it Thank you!
I have some text replacements that are well under the new character limit. Have you heard of any other reason / fix?! Thanks!
