Iphone SE 2016 Word selection problem

I have Iphone SE 2016 and After the latest update (IOS 14), my phone has defect I don't know why. It appears when I attempt to select any words or sentences, it automatically quit the any application I used. This is so annoying. I am not able to select any text at all. Is there any solution to fix that problem?

The next thing that I would suggest is to reset all settings. You will not lose any data when you do this, but you will have to enter all of the device’s settings again. This includes having to enter all WiFi network passwords for all of the WiFi networks that you use. It’s not the nuclear option like restoring to factory settings, but it does take some time to enter all of your preferred settings again.


From the Apple support website regarding resetting all settings.


  • Reset All Settings: All settings—including network settings, the keyboard dictionary, the Home Screen layout, location settings, privacy settings, and Apple Pay cards—are removed or reset to their defaults. No data or media are deleted.
