iPhone Keyboard: Always Show Uppercase Keys

Turn off Show Lowercase Keys in iPhone’s Accessibility settings to keep uppercase letters on the onscreen keyboard. For uppercase typing, use Shift or Caps Lock.
Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

To make the iPhone’s onscreen keyboard show uppercase key labels all the time, open Settings > Accessibility > Keyboards & Typing and turn off Show Lowercase Keys. This changes how the keys look; it does not make everything you type uppercase.

Turn off Show Lowercase Keys

  1. Open Settings on your iPhone.
  2. Tap Accessibility, then Keyboards & Typing.
  3. Turn off Show Lowercase Keys.

The onscreen keyboard will display uppercase letters instead of lowercase letters. Apple documents this option for making the onscreen keyboard easier to read. Menu presentation or wording can vary with iOS version or region; look for the setting named Show Lowercase Keys. Apple’s iPhone keyboard accessibility guide describes the option.

Showing uppercase keys is not the same as typing in uppercase

The setting changes the letters printed on the keyboard, not the case of the text you enter. To type an uppercase letter, tap Shift before that letter. To keep typing uppercase, double-tap Shift to turn on Caps Lock. Apple’s onscreen keyboard guide documents the Shift and Caps Lock controls.

If you use a Magic Keyboard

For a Magic Keyboard connected to iPhone, Apple documents separate Auto-Capitalization and Auto-Correction options. Those control typing assistance for the external keyboard; they do not change the uppercase or lowercase labels shown on the onscreen keyboard. See Apple’s guide to Magic Keyboard typing assistance.
