Step by Step Tutorial: Caps Lock on iPhone 15
Before you start typing away in all caps, you’ve got to know how to activate the caps lock feature on your iPhone 15. The following steps will guide you through it.
Step 1: Open your iPhone’s keyboard
To start, you’ll need to open an app that uses the keyboard, like Messages or Notes.
Once you’ve opened the keyboard, you’ll see a shift key – that’s the arrow pointing upward. It’s going to be your best friend in the caps lock world.
Step 2: Double-tap the shift key
Double-tap the shift key on your iPhone’s keyboard. This will activate caps lock.
When you double-tap the shift key, it will turn a darker shade, indicating that caps lock is now on. You’re now ready to type in all uppercase letters!
After completing these steps, all the letters you type will be in uppercase until you turn off caps lock by tapping the shift key once again.
- Tip 1: If caps lock isn’t working, go to your iPhone’s Settings > General > Keyboard, and make sure the ‘Enable Caps Lock’ option is turned on.
- Tip 2: To avoid accidental activation, be sure to tap the shift key with intention when you want to use caps lock.
- Tip 3: Caps lock on iPhone 15 will stay on even if you switch between different keyboard screens (like numbers and symbols).
- Tip 4: Remember, caps lock will only affect letters, not numbers or symbols.
- Tip 5: If you’re having trouble with the keyboard, restarting your iPhone 15 can help fix many issues, including caps lock.
