Some Gboard users suddenly can’t type capital letters

What happened

Some Gboard users suddenly can’t type capital letters, according to Android Authority. The Shift key in Gboard becomes unresponsive, preventing manual capitalization. TL;DR Some Gboard users report that the Shift key randomly stops working, making it impossible to capitalize letters manually.

Restarting your phone, force-stopping Gboard, clearing its cache, or switching layouts can temporarily fix it, but it often returns. The issue may be tied to the latest Gboard beta.

There are a few things you expect from a smartphone keyboard, beyond just being able to type a capital letter. Unfortunately, some Gboard users are discovering that even this seemingly bulletproof button can break.
