"tap twice to select a word, tap three times to select a sentence, tap four times to select a paragraph" not work properly on iphone 11 pro

but works on my iphone 7 plus. When I tap three times to try to select a sentence, it selects a paragraph instead of a sentence.

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13

Select a sentence: Triple-tap the sentence with one finger.
Select a paragraph: Quadruple-tap with one finger.
Select a block of text: Touch and hold the first word in the block, then drag to the last word.
After selecting the text you want to revise, you can type, or tap the selected text to see options.

- Copy: Tap Copy or pinch closed with three fingers.
- Paste: Tap Paste or pinch open with three fingers.
- Replace: View suggested replacement text, or have Siri suggest alternative text.
- B/I/U: Format the selected text.
