Quick-Tip: Quicker Caplocking on the iPhone and iPod



When I first got the iPhone I was amazed at it's simplicity. "Wow" I thought. "Almost everything works as it should" . Well, even though that is not so much the case anymore, the caplock feature falls into this category and I didn't realize it until later.

As soon as I discovered that I didn't have to press the caplocks button each and every time I wanted a letter caplocked, I quite frankly felt, well....silly ;)  and even a little upset that I didn't realize this earlier, lol. How much time could I have saved if I would have simply used one of the two easy caplocking methods that exist.

So to spare anyone else the "sillset" moment (a horrible attempt at merging the word silly and upset ) , I give you the two simple caplocking methods.

For a Quick Fix:

  1. Simply hold down shift (the "UP" arrow on the left of the keyboard) as you type. Even though I found this a little difficult to do as I typed anything near the shift button.


Which is why I prefer the next method...

Change your settings:

  1. From your iPhone Home screen, tap "Settings".

  2. Scroll down and tap on "General"

  3. Scroll down on this screen and tap on "Keyboard"

  4. Tap on "Enable Cap Lock"

  5. Press the "Home" button (the large button at the bottom on your iPhone) to return to your home.


Now test out your caplocks settings by double tapping the caplocks button and typing multiple letters.

See, I told you it would work!

Chao until next time my iPhone buddies! Also, if you have any questions, how-to's, or tips you would like me to cover, just leave a comment and let me know. We are here to help!
