If caps lock is enabled and you double-tap the Shift key on the keyboard, all letters you type are uppercase. The Shift key turns blue when caps lock is on.

Turn the “.” shortcut on or off: Choose General > Keyboard and turn “.” Shortcut on or off.

The “.” shortcut lets you double-tap the space bar to enter a period followed by a space when you’re typing. It is on by default.

If more than one keyboard is turned on, tap to switch keyboards when you’re typing. When you tap the symbol, the name of the newly active keyboard appears briefly.
