initial capitalization of first word in sentence

To change all strokes to lower case: Settings>General>Keyboard, then turn off Auto-Capitalization. (Maya Tsho --if I understand correctly-- explained the opposite: how to turn on Auto-Capitalization, which targets only the first letter of the sentence.)

Settings > General > Keyboard > Auto-Capitalization

I noticed that this happened if I had a hardware keyboard set to keyboard type ANSI (even though I wasn’t using an external keyboard). When I changed the hardware keyboard to type ISO, it started working correctly.

I had the same problem. It was not turned off, though. But I just turned it off and then back on, and it seemed to fix it.

I’m sure we’ve all gone to the settings and changed it to auto-capitalization, and it’s still not auto-capitalizing even with the upgrade to 17! I have an iPhone 14, and I have it on capitalization. It capitalizes everything, and right before I push to send, it takes the very first capital letter and puts it in lowercase. There’s no way to fix it, and it’s super annoying every day!

No, it’s a glitch. Every time I write a Message, except on this Apple Platform, right before I send the message to any of my friends. It takes it off a lowercase for the very first sentence. I have gone to Settings, and I have it on autocapitalization.

This is happening to me and it is extremely frustrating! I have double checked my auto capitalization settings multiple times and have tried turning it on off multiple times. I don’t know what else to try. It’s super inconvenient. And of course it’s working on this platform lol? Why wouldn’t it though right

I have been having the same issue (I have iPhone 11). I even went through my keyboard settings, turned off all auto-capitalization and auto-correct and then turned them back on (they were all on when I checked settings), and it’s still not auto-capitalizing.

Thank you! Been trying to get that resolved for weeks.

I spoke too soon. It did not fix it.

This is helpful. How do I change the hardware keyboard?
