Positioning (edgy) cursor for editing text.

Correcting a typo by moving the cursor to the offending letter is sometime difficult as the cursor won't stay put even if I center it. It may jump up a line or left and right. Sometimes it's easier to select the whole word and retype it. Anyone else?

iPhone SE, iOS 14

Have you tried this trackpad technique? Change Keyboard as Trackpad to move insertion point (Cursor).


Press and Hold the spacebar and move your fingers!
