How to keep capslock on in iphone

Double tapping used to keep letters capitolized but now I found I have to hold shift down the whole time with one thumb and type with the other. Maybe there is a better solution but I havent found it. I have an iphone 13mini.

Using Caps Lock on an iPhone:

Double-tap the up arrow on the screen's keyboard. It will look like an underlined-uparrow.

Thank you for the screenshot.


Troubleshooting Double-Tapping:

Interesting. You may have inadvertently changed it. Unfortunately, there is no way to knowing of your prior tapping of the keyboard, as the iOS keeps no record of this.


Restore from a Backup:

Restore your iPhone from a backup of it that was made prior to this occurrence, and all would go back how out was configured when the backup was made. So, backup items prior to restoring them (i.e. enable Photos in iCloud Settings

or eMail items to yourself). Note that downgrading the iOS is not an option, as of this reply.

A. Troubleshooting Double-Tapping:

I have the same iOS installed —I do not have this issue.

No success?
