Gboard Shift Key Bug Hits Beta Users
2 min read
Some Gboard users report the Shift key randomly stops working, preventing manual capitalization. Reports on Oct 9, 2026, show the issue on Pixel and Xiaomi devices, possibly tied to the latest Gboard beta. Restarting, force-stopping, clearing cache, or switching layouts only temporarily fixes it, with the problem returning hours or a day later. Google has been contacted.
