iPhone 14 iOS 26.2: Auto-cap & Apple ID login problems

I am having issues after updating my iPhone 14 max pro and iPhone 14 to IOS 26.2


I - When I type in my email, sms or any app that uses text on the iPhone 14 max pro, auto capitalization is no longer working.

Keyboard Setting (on 14 and 14 max pro):

  • Auto-Capitalization is ON.
  • Auto-Correction is OFF

Concern: I want to be able to use Auto-Capitalization without Auto-Correction turned ON.

Question: Is there a fix or workaround for this?


II - When logging into my Apple Account on the Secondary phone (iPhone 14) it forces me to use the phone's passcode and the passcode of the primary phone.

Concern: Why is Apple forcing users to use both passcodes. Then it syncs the primary phone to the secondary phone, allowing access to the primary phone. For me this is a security risk, because I do not want the secondary phone to have access to data or apps within the primary phone.

Question: Is there a fix for this or is there a workaround for this?
