Soo when you make a mistake when spelling a word i cant tap in the middle of the word to repair the mistake, and i mainly make mistakes in the middle of the word, it either takes me to the end of the word or at the start. Is there some setting i need to turn on or is this just how ios is?

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


Press and Hold the spacebar and move your fingers!
