Double spacing and full stops

I don't know how this has happened or how to fix this! Basically when I type on my phone (example in notes, text or insta etc.) it automatically adds a full stop after each word. I searched how to fix this is issue, by turning off the keyboard shortcut "." however when I turn off this function it now adds a double space after each word, so I either have full stops or double spacing and can't type normal anymore. Please help!

Hi bythefireplace,


We understand with keyboard shortcut "." enabled, a period is placed after each word. Now that is turned off, you're getting a double space after each word. To make sure it isn't related to the display, we suggest cleaning it: Cleaning your iPhone Also, test without a screen protector and/or case to ensure there isn't any interference.


If it still happens, we suggest having another person test it to ensure the space bar isn't accidentally being tapped twice.


Let us know if you need further assistance. Take care.
