If I try to edit text I have typed out, it is very difficult. It’s impossible to place the caret in the middle of a word and difficult to place it between. Very frustrating and I don’t understand why.

      It feels like the iPhone keyboard changed and this happens significantly more often now. I think it’s apple trying to “help”

      hold down space and scrub around, and let go when you have the cursor positioned

      iPhone text selection and text manipulation in general is abysmal imo. I find typing on my iPhone to be seriously challenging.

        Thank fuck because as an android user who swapped to iPhone recently I’ve thought it was just a me problem…?

        It’s so bad, and the keyboards suck. I miss my number line and long-press secondary characters. So so much.
