imessage autocorrect not working

I have an iPhone 6s and upgraded to iOS 10. The autocorrect feature iMessage is not working, but only for one conversation, one person. I have deleted the conversation and started a new one but it's still not working. Doesn't recognize errors or typos, doesn't suggest replacements or insert them automatically. And it's only for this one conversation. All others (iMessage and regular SMS) are working fine.

There also seems to be a slight flash of the screen whenever I enter the text field in this conversation. Any idea what

iPhone 6s, iOS 10

Did you recently delete another keyboard? I had the same people after I deleted a keyboard I no longer needed with the new update but again also only with one person. I filtered through all of my keyboards (now just 2) one time and it fixed it. Hope this helps!

thanks. turns out this was the solution but i didn't really understand what you meant by "filter through the keyboards".

i have now figured out that because i added other keyboards (emoji based ones especially), the keyboard doesn't always return the default and it's left in other keyboards the auto-correct does not function.

for anyone else that might not understand either, just keep tapping the little globe symbol (to the bottom left of the keyboard) until it returns back to whatever your default language is (it will say the name in the space bar when it gets back there). auto-correct should be working again after that.

i'm still having the same problem. Any word with an apostrophe is not automatically corrected. Some words are highlighted as incorrect, but others are not. I've created a work-around by entering my most commonly used contractions into general > keyboards > text replacement.
