MacBook Pro autocorrect not working despite settings

Hi, I have faced difficulty setting up autocorrect function for my macbook pro. I followed the instructions to turn on “Correct spelling automatically" via the path: system settings ->keyboard ->input source-> edit. Yet still nothing works for me. Any insight?

Please verify for us that it does not work on Apple apps like Safari, Mail, Messages, Notes, Pages (not just 3rd party stuff like you mentioned). On Apple apps, make sure to go to Edit > Spelling and Grammar and make sure Correct Spelling Automatically is checked.
