Autocapitalization of words does not work in UITextView

Question

I've got a UITextView that needs to autocapitalize words. However, when I call any of these methods, the view does not respond.

[self.fullNameTextView setAutocapitalizationType:UITextAutocapitalizationTypeWords];
self.fullNameTextView.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationTypeWords;

Is this a bug in iOS 8.1?

Answer 1

I had the same issue and was able to solve it by settings my Keyboard type back to DEFAULT:

Answer 2

Please check your device Settings → General → Keyboard → Auto-Capitalization is turned on.
