My auto-correct isn't working

Hi everyone,

The auto-correction and auto-capitalisation isn't working on any of the apps on my phone. I have checked that it's selected in the general>keyboards section and it is. I have restarted the phone, updated the software and reset the keyboard but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14
