Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

keyboard cursor iOs 13

Why has the magnifying glass being removed from the keyboard cursor in iOs 13? It is now so much more difficult to edit text without the magnifier to insert or change text. When one now wants to appoint the cursor to a specific position in the text, the cursor goes immediately into select mode and select the closest piece of text. WHY, Why is Apple changing things that were good and functional with problematic solutions, WHY?


iPhone 6s, iOS 13

Thanks Giulio, I need to say that I know what the purpose of these public support forums are. I actually wanted to start a discussion and establish if I'm the only one with issues regarding the magnifier. I also know that Apple surely scan these pages from time to time. And I also saw that other members with other issues referring to Apple as the cause of the problem, like in the discussion about MFI hearing aids.

Thanks for your clarification, Cassie8.

And no, you're not the only one with discomfort caused by the missing magnifier. You can find other similar threads in this Community. I just wanted to point out that we (just fellow users like you) are not aware of Apple decisions / future plans, and I'm pretty sure that the most incisive way to let them know our (your) thoughts, is to submit comments directly to Apple, using the link I posted. That being said, nothing prevents anyone from expressing and sharing their opinions here, but perhaps, by doing so, they cannot be sufficiently convincing towards Apple.

My English is not good, but I hope you understand my point of view.

Thanks again. Have a wonderful day.

Giulio
