Accent suggestions on MacBook Pro Touch Bar

Hi, the accent suggestions (when I press and hold a vowel) have disappeared from the Touch Bar on my Mac screen. I used uncommon accents a lot and this feature made my work much smoother. I have the spelling suggestion on, I can see word suggestions, but no longer accent suggestions when holding a vowel key.

Touch bar no longer shows typing suggestions Despite "typing suggestions" being checked on, at System Preferences> Keyboard> Text> Touch Bar typing suggestions, the touch bar does not show typing suggestions. I am using macOS 12.6 I have followed the instructions found at Customize the Touch Bar on Mac - Apple Support but nothing has changed. Neither the "Change Touch Bar settings" nor the "Change Control Strip buttons" sections have solved the problem.

Cannot type accents by holding in certain apps Macs have a function wherein you can hold a letter and it'll display various accents which you can then use. I love this feature, but it isn't working in certain apps; it works just fine on chrome and textedit for example, but doesn't work in safari and pages. Mainly the latter is a serious issue since I use accents quite a lot, so not being able to use this feature is a bit dissapointing. Does anyone know how I could fix this? P.S. I am aware that it is possible to type certain accents using alt+e, alt+u, etc, but this is not what I want.
