Hello alexcastela,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're only able to delete the entire word and not the letters. I'll do what I can to help.


It sounds like QuickPath is being used and deleting by word. To change this, go to Settings > General > Keyboard. Turn off 'Delete Slide-to-Type by Word.'


Hope that clears things up. Enjoy your day.
