Long pressing keyboard gone or bug?

I updated to iOS 14.1 from 13 today. I noticed that long pressing the keyboard to freely move the blue cursor is no longer a feature. Long pressing anything else works just fine.


Did iOS 14 remove this feature or might this be a bug?


Thanks.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

If your device has 3D Touch hardware (meaning iPhone 6s to iPhone XS (excluding iPhone XR), it should still work with any key, not just space bar. If you have iPhone XR, 11 series or newer, it does indeed work just with space bar and has always been so.
