Ambiguous cursor position in Notes app on iPhone 17

iPhone 17 26.2.1 cursor problem


when I touch the screen in Notes the cursor position is ambiguous. It doesn’t come to rest on the text I am touching or even the line or space I touch. It takes several touches to get it to set the desired location in the note

iPhone 17, iOS 26

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


Press and Hold the spacebar and move your fingers!
