iOS 17 cursor placement, text input update

I agree. I figured I’d eventually get used to it. But now here I am months later and it’s still so frustrating. I need like a tutorial on the exact ways the handling of the cursor/text selection/word suggesting changed so that I can stop doing it the old way I knew how and now do it the way they intended with their update.

Are you pressing and holding on the space bar until it turns into a sort of trackpad and then using your finger to slide the cursor to where you want it? I find that to be the easiest way.

It's not a new feature but there are plenty of people still unaware of it.

It's not a workaround. It's a feature that's intended to do exactly what you want: provide you with a precise way to position the insertion point. People clamored for it for years.
