After updating to the latest IOS , By typing in a text box the cursor positioning does not work correctly anymore. It is not possible to place the cursor on a certain position within the written text. The Cursor is placed always to first position into text field. Any tap just selects a Word or the whole sentence. It is not possible to expand, reduce or change the selection. Anybody else having this issue?


iPad, iOS 10

Apple changed how text editing worked. It does take a little while to get used to the changes. See these articles for some helpful instructions:
