Hi all,
I just changed from iphone xs to new iphone 12 Pro. It’s great phone but I can’t select text with haptic touch like I was able in iphone xs.
I have ios 14.3. Is there a trick to get this working or is it software problem?
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14
Finally I found a solution for this problem. Thank you Michael.
After you have moved the cursor on wanted place then you have to touch with other finger to start selecting text. This is fine alltough I liked the old version more where you could use only one finger.
Anyway, problem solved. Thank you for you quick and accurate answers

vilho47,
Thanks for the further clarification. Double-check the steps here: Type with the onscreen keyboard on iPhone.
"Turn the onscreen keyboard into a trackpad
If it still isn't working, check again after a restart: Restart your iPhone.
You can also check if you are using a third-party keyboard inside Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards.
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers,
Hi vilho47,
Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today with selecting text on your new iPhone 12 Pro.
On your iPhone XS, you were using 3D Touch. On newer models of the iPhone, Haptic Touch has replaced it and therefore it may feel a bit different. You'd only press once. You can try changing the sensitivity: Change 3D or Haptic Touch sensitivity on your iPhone.

Have a fantastic day!
Thank you for the answer.
I ment actually selecting text using spacebar. Moving cursor at specific point and then pressing again and selecting text. That feature isn’t working on new iphone 12 pro
