What if you only want lowercase for, say, your journaling app or Twitter? Not every text thread needs to be a lowercase rave.
Some apps, like Notes or WhatsApp, let you customize keyboard behavior individually. But the global setting (the one we just flipped) applies everywhere.
Your only workaround? Turn auto-cap off completely, then manually capitalize when you need to. It sounds annoying, but after a day, your thumb gets used to it. It’s like learning to drive a stick shift.
