iPad autocorrect and capitalization NOT working!

I don’t exactly know when it happened, but I noticed that the autocorrect and capitalization has stopped working on my iPad 11 2020 with the magic keyboard (the one that clicks on, made for the ipad).


In Settings>General>Keyboard, those settings are on for “all keyboards” and “hardware keyboard”. I’ve reset the dictionary also, but nothing is working.


Any help?

So I chatted with Apple Support and they suggested I do a “reset all settings.” I was hesitant, but it was a better option than restoring the iPad. That fixed it.


Thank you all for the help here. I really appreciate all your tips!

Hi junryo,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. We understand that the autocorrect and capitalization has stopped working on your iPad and we’d be happy to help! Let’s make sure that the software on your iPad has been updated to the latest supported version iPadOS 14.6. Updating the software can help us rule out potential software problems. If your iPad has not yet been updated to iPadOS 14.6 back up your iPad first before updating it.

Have you tried toggling settings from off to on again?


Does the issue happen without the Magic Keyboard connected?
