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
I want to type using Russian of Ukrainian with keyboard of my Mac. So I switch languages from EN to RU using button fn (with 🌏 icon) and it works, but temporary. When I launch the Mac it works probably, but not so long...this feature stops working and when I want to type another language I have to switch it on control panel on the top of my screen (what is uncomfortable).
Then I reset my Mac and this feature returns.
Please don't express an opinion with such confidence about a matter you obviously have no idea. There are people who need to write in 2 different languages so we need to change between alphabets frequently. We can use the Fn key for that but sometimes it doesn't respond.

While you are waiting for this to be fixed, you can hopefully still use the Control - Space shortcut which everyone used for 20 years until the Fn key was also given this function last October.
First of all, the Control - Space shortcut no longer has this functionality. It has been changed for a while now (even before last October) into showing or hiding the Spotlight. The new shortcut to change between languages is ^ Space or ^⌥ Space.
Secondly, we obviously know there are other shortcuts using multiple keys but that's the problem. The one-key-shorcut is way more user-friendly and that's why we would like this bug to be fixed.

That's mistaken. Spotlight is still Command Space.
The new shortcut to change between languages is ^ Space or ^⌥ Space.
That's correct, at least since El Capitan. And the symbol ^ stands for Control.
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.
no, it's works! I add option+shift + space shortcut to switch language and it works, and after switching language using option+shift + space fn button also works. It's really strange

What about Control-shift-space, or Control-option-space? Do these also stop working at the same time?
Wow, after adding default Japanese keyboard but not google one, the check box is activated on Google one too. Thank you so much! Now I can work on my stuff!

Thank you Tom. I was unaware of that.
