How to convert text to Capitals?

[Steven SANH]

In the Messages App on the iPhone, how do you convert selected text into all CAPITALS?

Is it possible? You would think by iOS 17.5.1, this feature would be included?
Or is a third party app required?

The easiest way is to type the message in capitals, press the Shift button twice to keep caps lock on.

I really would not expect that function from standard iOS. It’s nothing I’ve ever personally had a desire to do, and while obviously there’s some interest - it seems niche to me.

iOS is more about curated, commonly-used functions than “everything including the kitchen sink”

It may not be important to you, but it may benefit other users. Already, when you highlight some text the pop-up options include;
Cut, Copy, Replace, Auto-Fill, Look Up, Translate, Search Web, Speak, Spell, Share.

I doubt an option "All Caps" is asking for much!

Thanks! The free Convert Case app in the Apple Store looks interesting!

Thanks, I'll have to check that out.


UPDATE: I experimented with this and it is great. If you alter "Change Text to UPPERCASE" to "Ask Each Time". When you're in any app (e.g. Notes); Ask Siri: "Clipboard" (if that is the name of the shortcut) and she'll present a menu screen of capitalizions to pick from.
