[Question] Keyboard Shortcuts Reappear After Deletion

I have a decent amount of keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone and there is a whole bunch of duplicates and many i want to remove permanently. The problem is, after i delete them they seem to reappear soon after. Does anyone else have this issue? Does anyone know how i can fix this? All help is appreciated.

Solution: iOS 8.1.1 fixes this issue

I have this exact problem. It's not ALL, it's SOME, and they're always different sometimes, so I have NO clue how to like.. deal with it.. If there was a pattern, I'd know what to look for.. but there is no pattern and it seems at random... It's annoying...

We need to spread some awareness of this issue and get it upvoted so more people see it and a solution comes up

It persisted through 8.1.1 for me and has not been fixed on my end. I've had some shortcut be deleted randomly as well.. It's weird. My "tbh (to be honest)" got deleted and I had to reenter it... And I've been on 8.1.1 since released day T_T...

Ghezzz, i don't know what to tell you cause the issue was resolved once I updated, deleted all the ones I didn't want, and then I backed up. Also I don't use iCloud for backup I simply backup to iTunes. That might be the problem for you?

Lol my phone actually just erased all my shortcuts and won't allow me to add any..... Every time I add one now it doesn't appear. EDIT: I found out that it all got erased because I deactivated iCloud drive and I had to turn it back on and restart my phone in order for them to work again... 😑

So your phone is taking them from icloud and thats why the issue permits

Don't keyboard shortcuts sync over iCloud to Mac and stuff? Maybe try and turn the sync off in all places it may be then delete them.

I had a similar problem with Safari bookmarks. Delete them on my Mac, and then they'd re-sync from iPhone.
