Magnifying Glass for Selecting Text

Can I get the text selection/editor magnifying glass back in iOS 13.3 and still keep swipe to type? I don’t want to downgrade the software version but I need the magnifying glass to edit.

iPhone 6, iOS 9

The magnifying glass was replaced a year ago by a much better way to edit. See this Apple support article, which explains how to use the new, improved editing features—>Type and edit text on iPhone - Apple Support
