typing a phrase in Messages is being automatically converted from lower case to initial caps, how to change that? I have an iPhone 11, iOS 17.5.1. I sent a text message yesterday using the phrase "quick look" and it automatically was changed to "Quick Look" - why?? How do I stop this from happening?
