ipad selecting words

Soo when you make a mistake when spelling a word i cant tap in the middle of the word to repair the mistake, and i mainly make mistakes in the middle of the word, it either takes me to the end of the word or at the start. Is there some setting i need to turn on or is this just how ios is?

I don’t get red lines under misspelled words I’m not sure what is going on with my iPad, but I do not get red lines under misspelled words. I’m at the point where I may do a factory reset because it’s driving me mad. I don’t get the red lines no matter the input method… swiping with the Apple onscreen keyboard, G-Board, Magic Keyboard or a bluetooth connected keyboard. Any thoughts?

iPhone 15 Pro Max touchscreen and autocorrect issues IOS: 18.1.1 Touchscreen - will stop working, I have to either close app by swiping up or shut down phone. also when I’m typing a text in messager, it will change a word to a different word that wasn’t even close to my spelling.

ios edit text When editing a misspelled word, I’ll do a quick tap in space to right of the letter I want to eliminate. Backspace once. Then I enter correct letter. Since iOS update 13.1.2, unable to edit, only to delete. NOW: When I tap on word, it highlights the whole word.. no matter how much I tap, it continues to highlight whole word. Only option is to highlight>delete whole word> rewrite correct word. Thanks for reading [Edited by Moderator]

Have you tried this trackpad technique? Change Keyboard as Trackpad to move insertion point (Cursor).

Press and Hold the spacebar and move your fingers!
