Not able to lock caps on iPhone

After the most recent updates, 15.4 I believe, I am not able to lock caps. After all these years, I am used to double tapping the capital key to lock caps. However, that does not work anymore.. Any help?

Caps Lock Issue on new Iphone 17 - iOS 26.2 Caps Lock Issue on new Iphone 17 - iOS 26.2 I have seen several threads reporting this same issue, along with the recommended fix of making sure the Enable Caps Lock Switch is ON by navigating to Settings --> General --> Keyboard --> Enable Caps Lock. Unfortunately this is not working even after powering the phone on and off. I can force capital letters by holding down the Shift key but that is inconvenient and is a problem for letters near the Shift key. I suspect an iOS bug on some but not all phones and may be visiting the Apple Store where I bought the phone after Christmas. Suggestions invited.

Caps lock hasn't worked since I updated to iOS 26 I updated my phone a while ago to iOS 26, and only realized today that caps lock doesn't work when I double tap on the shift button on any app except discord. I've tried restarting my phone, turning it off and on again, turning it off then restarting and turning it back on again, but nothing works. I also updated my phone to iOS 26.0.1 today, and it didn't fix it. My dad is on the same iOS as me, and his caps lock works just fine. Meanwhile I have to hold onto the shift button do write anything in all caps. Why is my phone not working like it's supposed to?

Please check that the option is still selected at: Settings - General - Keywords - Enable Caps Lock = On???
