Spell checking not working

I have gone to settings and spell checking is turned on. However it does not spell check. The message I get is No Known Replacements for the simplest word.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hi MSJAM,


We see you're having some issues with spell checking on your iPhone. To clarify, is this happening with every word? Have you tried tapping Settings > General > Keyboard and then toggling "Check Spelling" to off and back on? If you haven't yet, give that a try to see if it helps.


Which iOS version are you currently using also? If you're not using iOS 16.6 under Settings > General > About, backing up and updating might help: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Take care.
