period at end of sentence

Lately, I’ve not gotten periods at the end of sentences after double space. Was it an issue with last update? I checked everything in keyboard settings and everything is correct. Help please It’s annoying!

Keyboard issue - adds two spaces after every word I type I've done all the things that I've seen in this discussion community - I have hit or clicked on everything that I see. I have the "period after two spaces" toggled off. I can't find anything to help fix this very aggravating problem. For a long while, it was putting a period after almost every word I typed. Now it's putting two spaces. Driving me crazy!

When I used to type a message hitting the space bar twice used to insert a period, now it doesn't do that. No, it's not my phone's settings either. Please fix Has anyone else noticed that tapping the space at twice no longer brings up a period automatically? I've checked and it's not a settings issue, I made sure of that
