Hello,

How do I tell iPhone's iOS v17.2.1.'s Contacts NOT to show contact's
nickname and company all in capitalized letters? Nickname shows NICKNAME
and Company shows COMPANY. iOS v16.7.2 and earlier didn't do this. I
can't find the option to disable this annoying auto capitalization.
Searching and editing the contact doesn't show all of them in
capitalizations so that's good.

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

That's not something you can change as it's a design choice made by
Apple.

It's hardly annoying when you can simply choose not to stare at it. But
if you have an obsessive personality and can't bring yourself to ignore
this very minor detail, go ahead and send feedback to Apple about it.

Yep.

Nope. In edit and search views, they are not in caps.

Here's a thought:

Create a company contact (there's a little check mark for that).

I'm guessing that then the company name will be in normal case and if
you add a person's name to the company it will be in all caps.

Where is this? I don't see it when making a new and editing an old contact.

You must have entered them in cpaital letters. Here I cannot observe the
described behaviour on my iPhone 14 iOS 17.2.1. in German. Perhaps a
localisation thing?

Oops: You are right. Just for the sake of it I checked it again: One of
my doctors is presented with function and employer in capitals.
Not an issue for me at all. Why does that bother you?

Nope, they are shown in all capital letters on the view contact page.
They are not shown in all caps when you edit the contact. As I said,
it's merely a stylistic choice by Apple to display them this way on the
view contact page:

<https://ibb.co/DP2X6ty>

Here's the edit contact page:

<https://ibb.co/tzLYzKq>

Both screenshots above are from iOS 17.2.1.

Maybe. Or maybe you just aren't looking at the right page.
