magic keyboard capitAlizing words in the middle of sentences on iPad Pro

This seems to be a problem over quite a few versions. If you look at my subject, I tried to make a correction to spelling and there it is. A capital letter in mid sentence/mid word. It also happens when I’m typing merrily along and all of a sudden the first letter in the word gets capitalized. Turning off auto-capitalization doesn’t solve the problem, just adds another step to have to use the shift key.


My iPad Pro 5th generation is up to date, 16.2. I can’t believe this has been going on for years and not fixed yet. I have only noticed it within the last couple of months after upgrading to iOS 16 is my guess.

iPad Pro, 12.9-inch, 6th Gen, Wi-Fi

Hi Schnappsy75,


For help with your Magic Keyboard and iPad Pro, check for any modifiers or accessibility settings with the steps below found in the article here: Adjust the onscreen and external keyboard settings on iPhone


"Change how the keys respond on an external keyboard

If you have difficulty using an external keyboard, you can adjust the settings.

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboards, then tap any of the following:

  • Key Repeat: You can adjust the repeat interval and delay.
  • Sticky Keys: Use Sticky Keys to press and hold modifier keys, such as Command and Option, as you press another key.
  • Slow Keys: Use Slow Keys to adjust the time between when a key is pressed and when it’s activated."


You can also use the guide here to check your shortcuts and suggested word settings: Use shortcuts on an Apple external keyboard with iPad


Not clear on if the issue has been happening for years or only after you've updated to iOS 16. However, if the settings are correct using the steps above and the issue remains contact Apple Support directly to further assist.
