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.

Oh boy I’m embarrassed now. Thank you Chris!
No need to be embarrassed!
Glad the feature is working for you
I as well had this problem!! Thanks for the clarification
I think that is what was confusing me. I moved for XS Max to 12 Pro and didn’t realise 3D Touch had gone. Thanks for pointing this out!
My iPhone running iOS 14 still does this.. One thing to note would be that you have to long press the space bar to get the 'track pad' behavior.. not just any ol key on the keyboard.
Long pressing keyboard gone or bug?
