Why Text Doesn’t Always Auto-Capitalize

Sometimes words don’t start with a capital letter when typing, even though the app is set to do so. This usually happens because of your keyboard settings or the keyboard app you are using.

How to Fix It

1. Check your keyboard settings

  • Open your keyboard’s settings (tap the ⚙️ gear icon, or go to phone Settings → General Management → Keyboard).

  • Look for an option called “Auto-capitalize” or “Auto-capitalize words/sentences.”

  • Make sure it is switched ON.

  • If you don’t see it, check under “More typing options” or a similar menu.

2. Try a different keyboard

  • If your current keyboard doesn’t support auto-capitalization, install Gboard from the Play Store.

  • Gboard usually works best and follows app capitalization settings correctly.
