How to do a Number row with iPhone keyboard?

So I just switched from Android to iphone and I'm a bit frustrated that I don't find this really simple thing I used a lot. I'm writing this on my Android btw since I'm not able to do this one thing on iOS but hopefully someone can tell me. So how do you write a small number "2" like this ²³ or decimals like this ⅔⅚⅞. Ony Android i just long press on the number rows. On iOS nothing happens. It's seems so basic so I don't get it. And I would also want to have a number row on my iphone keyboard just like my ipad but also not there. Is it that hard for apple do implement such basic 2010 features? I mean come on we are in 2021. Please help. Thank you

Wow that's a real bummer. Is it really the only way? I don't think it will change anything if I send feedback. I mean it's 2021, the iphone has existed for 14 years. I'm quite frustrated with my purchase. Thought iphones were so good that's why I paid extra but apparently not.

Thank you for the reply though.

Thanks for the reply. I just did, maybe we'll see this ancient feature in 10 years as something revolutionary.

And, as noted, there are lots of alternative keyboards. GBoard does a number row the way you're used to. SwiftKey also has an option for a number row.

Send in your feedback. The very first iPhone didn’t have an App Store (Steve Jobs wanted people to use web apps), neither did it have cut and paste. Customer feedback prompted Apple to add both of these things to future models. Apple can’t know what customers need if customers don’t speak up.. send in your feedback.
