When I touch screen to relocate the cursor in the middle of text, it relocates itself to the bottom of the entry.
I relocate it again and touch longer, it jumps to another part of the text.
It takes me at least 4 times just to get the cursor to stay where I touch!
Earlier versions didn’t relocate the cursor like this.
Very time consuming & I try not to edit..
iPhone 11, iOS 17
I have been reporting this bug to Apple since August 29th using the Apple Feedback App.
Here’s the bug ID and title
FB13082449 (Can’t place text cursor is long iMessage)
Please add to my post or post your own.
This issue is driving me insane. It’s 100% reproducible . I’m on an iPhone 11 Pro Max. My partner is on an iPhone 14 Pro. She just updated to ios 17 and now she’s getting the bug.
I’m so surprised that there’s not been more reports of this because it basically makes iMessage useless when it happens.
I now have to type long texts in notes and paste into iMessage.
Thanks,
Mike

Thank you, jihadfromGB.
So much frustration gone. (I did not know the scroll method.)
How does one merge discussions? This is the same one:

I 100% agree.
Just replaced my 8s with new 3rd gen 8s. Same glitch happening. Cursor not controllable in iMessage….its a basic action. Fix it.
so?

Text - ios 17 & 17.01 upgrades - cursor jumps around
