Oppo: Turn Auto-capitalization On or Off in Gboard

If sentences and random words get capitalized automatically while you type, Gboard's auto-capitalization is switched on and reacting to every full stop or new line. On Oppo phones this text correction option often catches names, abbreviations or chat messages where you want a lowercase start. Turning it off stops Gboard from capitalizing the first letter after punctuation and at the beginning of each sentence.

Turn Auto-capitalization On or Off auf Oppo

Gboard's Auto-capitalization setting watches for full stops, question marks and line breaks, then capitalizes the next letter you type. On Oppo phones this sits inside the keyboard's text correction tools and runs independently from autocorrect or predictive text.

It helps with quick messaging but causes trouble when you write lowercase usernames, code snippets, hashtags or abbreviations that should stay untouched. Chat apps and note-taking tools are the most common places users notice the setting fighting their input.

To change it, go to Tap on SettingsTap on Additional settingsTap on Keyboard & input methodTap on GboardTap on Text correctionEnable or disable Auto-capitalization.

Switching it off leaves capitalization entirely up to you, so every sentence start needs a manual shift tap. If you only want fewer unwanted capitals rather than none at all, check autocorrect and personal dictionary entries first, since those can override this setting for specific words.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Auto-capitalization is a Gboard-wide setting, so disabling it under Tap on Text correction removes automatic capitals in messaging apps, browsers and note apps alike.
