Xiaomi: Turn Auto-capitalization On or Off in the Keyboard

If your Xiaomi keyboard keeps capitalizing letters you want lowercase - like usernames, code snippets, or crypto addresses - auto-capitalization is likely running in the background. It automatically capitalizes the first letter after a period or new sentence, which speeds up regular typing but gets in the way for technical text. The setting sits inside the keyboard's text correction options, not the main system settings.

Turn Auto-capitalization On or Off auf Xiaomi

Auto-capitalization on Xiaomi phones watches for sentence breaks and automatically capitalizes the next letter you type. This runs through the built-in keyboard's text correction engine inside MIUI's input settings. It speeds up normal messaging, but causes problems when you paste usernames, email addresses, or code where the first letter has to stay lowercase.

Where to find the setting

Open SettingsAdditional settingsLanguages & inputManage keyboardsSettingsText correction. Toggle Auto-capitalization off to stop it, or back on to re-enable it.

Turning it off removes automatic capitalization everywhere in that keyboard, including chat apps and browsers, since the setting is global to the keyboard rather than per app. If only one field needs different behavior, switching to another installed keyboard is the only workaround, since MIUI does not offer per-field exceptions. Side effect of disabling it: you need to capitalize sentence starts manually, which slows down casual typing.

Frequently asked questions

It applies everywhere the keyboard is used, since the setting lives under Manage keyboardsSettingsText correction. A different keyboard app would keep its own separate setting.
