How to remove capital letters on the keyboard Xiaomi Redmi Note 10: all ways

You're typing a message on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10, and the phone is stubbornly replacing lowercase letters with capital letters at the beginning of sentences or after dots? This autocorrect feature can be annoying, especially if you often write in English, use nicknames or abbreviations like "lol" instead of "Lol." In this article, we will analyze all the possible causes of the problem and ways to solve it, from basic keyboard settings to hidden MIUI parameters.

It’s important to understand that capital letters are influenced by three factors: the keyboard used (Gboard, SwiftKey, standard MIUI), the Redmi Note 10 firmware version, and language settings. We’ve tested all methods on current versions of MIUI 14 and Android 13, but the instructions will also be suitable for older builds (given possible differences in the menu).

Why does the phone use capital letters?

Autocapitalization is a predictive input function that operates according to the following rules:

• 🔹 After punctuation marks: dot, exclamation/question mark, ellipsis automatically make the next letter capital.
• 🔹 At the beginning of the message: the first letter of the new text field (for example, in the SMS The messenger is always going to be big.
• 🔹 For proper names: the keyboard can recognize names (e.g., "anna" → "Anna") if they are in contact.
• 🔹 Double space: In some keyboards, two spaces in a row put a dot and a capital letter (the function "quick sentence ending").

On the Redmi Note 10, this feature may be too aggressive because of:

1. Settings of a specific keyboard (Gboard, SwiftKey or standard MIUI).
2. Language packages – for example, when using English and Russian layouts at the same time.
3. MIUI updates that sometimes reset user settings.
4. Conflict with third-party applications such as Grammarly or Microsoft SwiftKey.

Method 1: Disable autocapital letters in Gboard (Google Keyboard)

If you use Gboard (the most popular keyboard on Android), follow this instruction:

1. Open any text box (such as WhatsApp or Notes).
2. Touch the gear badge. ⚙️ in the top panel of the keyboard to open the settings.
3. Go to the Text Input section → Correction.
4. Find the Autocapital option and turn it off (translate the slider to the gray position).

In Gboard, it is also useful to check:

• 📌 Automatic comma placement – may conflict with capital letters.
• 📌 Showing sentences – sometimes affecting text formatting.
• 📌 Blocking random taps – in rare cases interferes with manual input.

Turn off "Autocapital letters" | Check "Automatic comma placement" | Turn off "Casual press lock" (if there are problems) | Update Gboard in Play Market-->

⚠️ Note: After updating Gboard, settings may reset. To avoid this, secure the app version in the Play Market → Gboard → Three points. → Remove updates (if the new version is worse).

Method 2: Configure the standard MIUI keyboard

The standard Xiaomi keyboard (part of MIUI firmware) has its own features, to disable autocapital letters:

1. Go to Settings → Additional → Language and input → Current keyboard.
2. Select the MIUI Keyboard (or the System Keyboard in newer versions).
3. Open the text input settings → Autocorrection.
4. Turn off the options: 🔘 Automatic capital letter 🔘 Double-cap correction (if any)

In the MIUI keyboard versions 12.5–14.0, the auto-capital option may be called Text Autoformatting, which must also be disabled.

💡

If autocapital letters are still corrected after turning off, try resetting the MIUI keyboard settings: Keyboard settings → Three dots → Reset settings.

Method 3: Solution for SwiftKey and other keyboards

If you are using Microsoft SwiftKey or another third-party keyboard, the algorithm will be similar:

1. Open the keyboard settings through the icon ⚙️ input-pane.
2. Go to the text or autocorrection section.
3. Find the options: 🔹 Autocapital letters (deactivate) 🔹 Automatic correction (reduce sensitivity) 🔹 Double space for the point (disable if it interferes with the)

In SwiftKey, check out:

• 📌 Keyboard learning – if enabled, it can “remember” your errors and automatically “fix” them".
• 📌 Language settings – remove unnecessary languages that may conflict (e.g. English) + Russian).

Method 4: Reset keyboard settings to factory

If none of these things worked, maybe the keyboard settings are damaged, and then resetting:

For Gboard:

Settings → Applications → Application Management → Gboard → Storage → Clear data

For the MIUI keyboard:

Settings → Applications → Application Management → MIUI Keyboard → Three points → Reset Settings

Method 5: Manual fix via ADB (for advanced)
