How to enable auto spacing after punctuation (coma, dot, etc) on iPhone 14 Pro Max keyboard

It's driving me nuts. I want to be able to add an auto-space after basic punctuation when typing something using the iPhone keyboard.

To be clear:

When I type a "," or a "." => I would like to have an auto space and continue typing

I've searched for that option on Settings > General > Keyboards but there is NO auto spacing toggle.

I'm using the latest iPhone 14 Pro Max with its native keyboard.

How can I enable it?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to set Auto Space for punctuation with the iOS Keyboard. I see that the SwiftKey and Gboard keyboards support the feature for the Android version, but now I've just tested both keyboards on my iPhone, and neither of them offer that feature for iOS.

But let Apple know there's room for improvement by submitting a feature request:
