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.

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.

Hard pass. Even on android I hated the gboard. Absolutely not willing to let them view all my typing to use it, even if it’s hands down better than the iOS board.

Apple getting that info is bad enough (I assume they do even if they say they don’t) I don’t need to open to a second known-bad entity (because it will be both, not one or the other, I know what apple does with development)

(Maybe that was the joke? I worry about this all the time…)
