When I launch my MBP M1 language switching using fn button works normally, but in some time after launch this feature stops working, and I should reset my MBP to use this feature.
(fn button works, but it doesn't switch languages)
How can I solve this issue?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0
This "feature" with "Fn" button switch language mode often starts after closing-open MacBook M1:
FIX this:
Option 1:
Open terminal -> kill TextInputSwitcher
Close terminal
Tap by mouse cursor on language menu (top right corner), and change language few times. After "Fn" button will start work again automatically.
Option 2:
Open terminal -> kill TextInputSwitcher
then
cd
/System/Library/CoreServices/TextInputSwitcher.app/Contents/MacOS/
and
./TextInputSwitcher
Nope! So sad. Planning to sell it and buy windows.
I have the same problem and the language also changes every time I open a new window... It's really annoying
I also have this question
After several updates i'm still having the same issue, apple didn't have fixed this yet
am having this problem right now too.
It happened to me too. What I did was ...
I do hope this is a glitch which Apple intends to fix with the next OS update.
Yeah I'm sorry I read command instead of control.
Where do you see that globe icon? In the touchbar? Somewhere else?
Does switching from the keyboard work? In my mac that is control-shift-space. Yours may be different - see System Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts->Input Sources:

By the way, the Fn key by itself does nothing... what is exactly the shortcut you use for this?
It has gotten a bit confusing recently. In the latest hardware, the Fn key has a globe on it, and Apple's instructions for Big Sur (but not Catalina) now say
"Use the Fn key or Globe: If you set an option in Keyboard preferences to change input sources by using the Fn key or Globe (if available on the keyboard), press the key to display a list of your input sources, then continue pressing the key until the input source you want to switch to is selected. The list disappears automatically."

Have the same problem (MacBook Pro m1). After a few hours after restart I can switch language using only language icon in menu bar. After restart switching with fn button works, but then the problem reappears.
Sounds like a Big Sur bug that Apple needs to fix in a future update. Let them know via

I'm experiencing this issue as well on my M1 Macbook Air.
If I go into System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Input Sources and I disable then re-enable the "Select the previous inout source" option and I change language using that given keyboard combination then the globe button starts to work again.
It is frustrating and probably it could be solved by restarting some daemon-like process from Terminal but I haven't found which one.

Yes, I have the same problem on a Macbook Air and Pro with the M1 chip. I think it's OS bug and we need send a report to the Apple
