Switch control head tracking Drag and hold Vs direct touch

I have been using accessibility switch control with head tracking on the iPhone.

This is now updated to iOS 26. I'm trying to use the new head tracking and there seems to be a difference in the Actions. Within switch control I often used direct touch for instance to swipe, scroll, position cursor, make text selection, use sliders et cetera.

Now with the new head tracking the new actions have different names there is no more direct touch there is a drag and hold. But this one seems to work quite differently either I use it the wrong way and clearly don't get it but I cannot use it on sliders I cannot make text selection using it to slide to crop an image is impossible. Drag and hold a tile in Scrabble game doesn't work

Am I using it wrong, am I supposed to use another action?
