OK, this is 2026 and the first letter when I dictate does not capitalize anymore. It seems that this was a problem a couple years ago and was fixed, but it’s back again.
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26
Hello, This works for me if I turn on Auto Capitalisation in Settings, General, Keyboard,
HELP
I never turned off the auto dash cap and yet the first word of every text or email is not capitalized. This is insane in this AI day and time. I am using my iPhone and cannot understand why this can’t be simply done rather than having to say something every time I start a text or an email. It must be automatic. Apple, get your **** together, please
Thank you so much. I never turned it off. It used to work, but you’re right it was turned off and I turned it on and it works because I just dictated.
You're welcome! Thanks for feeding back.
