I was surprised when I did a text replacement (phrase and shortcut) on my computer it would show up on my iPad and if I did it on my iPad it will show up on my computer.

I never chose for those 2 to sync, I am not sure how they are sync-ing any way but I figured out it must be happening via the iCloud with my AppleID.

The problem is on my iPhone the sync-ing is not happening. If I add a text replacement , shortcut and phrase, it will not show on my computer or iPad.

Anyone knows whats going on or how this is being syncing?

iphone 7- iOS 10.3.3
Air 2- 10.3.3
macbook- Sierra 10.12.6

I only have Safari and Game Center to Sync over iCloud (Apps using iCloud). I would really love to be in control of what is being stored about me and know what is syncing and what is not.
