  • iOS keyboard getting worse

    From Chris@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 27 08:10:55 2023
    Just noticed that the keyboard is ignoring capitalisation. Say I want to
    type - or swipe to type - "Apple Watch". 1. I hit the shift key to start
    the word with capitals, 2. swipe the word "apple" works fine. Then 3. I hit
    the shift key again, 4. swipe the word "watch" it fails to capitalise. The alternative words suggested "Witch", "Waste" and "Way" are all
    capitalised, however. WTF?! Is apple trolling me?

    The only way I get "Apple Watch" correctly capitalised is by typing "Apple watch" then going back to edit the 'w'. Grrr

    Anyone else or am I justified in feeling personally attacked? ;)

    apple is often a proper name, especially when typed in on an ios
    device, whereas watch is not.

    did you try choosing one of the suggestions and seeing if it inserted
    it with a capital letter?

    what happens if you tap it out versus swipe?

    Capitalization is not only "not needed" but it's "not wanted" by anyone.
    If you don't believe it, just ask nospam. He's already run all the surveys. Right off the top of his head, he knows what everyone wants. Just ask him.

    device, whereas watch is not.

    Ironically "apple" is always lowercase by default.

    Yup. Capitalised.

    Works fine.

    It was a mutually understood joke of "nobody wants it" & it's "not needed" which is nospam's response to anything that Apple products can't do.
