I figured out how to key but it is not convenient at all

  1. Hold the alt (or cmd) and shift keys together
  2. Release alt key
  3. then now you can key with shift on

You have to do it again and again...

Interestingly, as I type this reply using my Logitech Bluetooth MK-850 keyboard I realise that the Shift key is indeed working.

I suspect that issue now of Shift key not working is only with some applications like WhatsApp that has this issue with the Shift key.

Now I don’t know if its a problem with iOS 13.1 or WhatsApp’s integration onto the new iOS. Any suggestions anyone?
