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.

      Seems like it’s going to work, then the cursor jumps back to wherever it was. Is there some technique for this to work?

        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.

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

          With some experimentation, I found this works with SwiftKey keyboard, but is unusable with the Apple keyboard. Not sure what to make of that.
