Why has editing on iPhone changed? Why has apple made a change to the way editing of text and messages is done? In the past you could easily insert text between words. Now it highlights the entire adjacent word (s) and the word is either deleted when you go to insert or change a word and/or error. Super annoying apple. Why have you made this annoying change?

Can't undo automatic text effects in iMessage Is there a way to turn off the feature where iMessage automatically applies a text effect to a message without asking for approval without turning off predictive text entirely? I have been experiencing an extraordinarily frustrating issue in which I actually CANNOT undo whatever effect it has decided to apply without my consent no matter what I do. I don't want to send every all caps "WOW???" with the BIG effect. It is frankly absurd how difficult it is to undo this. Why can I turn off autocorrect but not automatic text effects? I promise you, if I wanted to add a text effect to my message, I would do so on purpose. Not sure if this is allowed, but here is a screen recording of this issue for reference: https://youtube.com/shorts/C0soPN9XIxI?feature=share My phone's iOS is up to date. I have restarted my phone multiple times. I am using an iPhone 13 Pro.

Unable to turn off text summary feature on my iPhone The new update started summarizing my text messages. I HATE this feature and toggled it off immediately but it is still randomly summarizing my text messages when I have many in the same thread. If I can’t turn this off, I will be returning my brand new I phone and getting an Android ! Help! [Re-Titled by Moderator]
