SwiftKey does not respect autocapitalize attribute in HTML input tag

Answered

SwiftKey does not automatically turn off the capitalization on HTML input tags which feature autocapitalize=off. That is very annoying, many web apps use this to prevent unwanted automatic capitalization on certain inputs. SwiftKey ignores this.

See https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/04/autocapitalize for details.

    I came here after not being able to get https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5171764/how-do-you-turn-off-auto-capitalisation-in-html-form-fields-in-ios/5171812 to work on my android.

    This really should be corrected, this can make a big difference in some circumstances. At the moment we programmatically lowercase the first character to counter this bug.

    An important note: for autocapitalize 'on' and 'off' are deprecated, 'sentences' and 'none' are the new respective values, as stated in https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariHTMLRef/Articles/Attributes.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008058-autocapitalize
