Some Android users can't type capital letters in Gboard. Here are the fixes that work.
Some Gboard users can no longer type capital letters because the Shift key randomly stops responding.
Reports come from Pixel and Xiaomi phones. At least one Reddit user and an Android Authority reporter with the bug were on the beta.
Force-stop Gboard, clear its cache, restart your phone or switch layouts. Expect the bug to return within hours or days.
Leave the Gboard beta from its Play Store listing, then update to the stable version once it appears.
Google has not acknowledged the bug. If you rely on your phone for work, leave the beta now and rejoin later.
