Hi Thunkers,

Can anyone suggest how I can get the iOS keyboard to appear preset to lowercase letters (necessary) rather than make my users  
a) understand that it has to be done (for my app) and…  
b) actually do it rather than input uppercase letter (yes, I know they can be converted, but the user needs to see the lowercase letters regardless)

Thanks

Hi @nijeci29651ppw,

You are able to do this!  
Set the Advanced property ‘Auto Capitalize’ to ‘characters’.

 ![lowercase](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/5/05a0365e613792493bca0130c98ebb9852fab629.png)  
Apologies that it is not a more clearly titled setting!
