On my Xʀ since this update it’s become really hard to move the cursor around text I’ve typed.. I mean dragging it with your finger rather than the long press spacebar method. Anyone else?
 
I've been having cursor movement issues since some idiot at Apple decided that NOT having the magnifying glass was clearly the better option.

I have the 11, this being my first iPhone, I'm not happy with this cursor. It does not go where I tap, or it "springs back" to where I initially 'drag it from' as I try to drag the cursor with careful precision to the letter I need it at. I have to delete entire words to correct 1 letter. Cursor dragging does not work. Has it ever? Also as for word suggestion..where are the suggested words?

Yeah cursor dragging worked fine for me until the last iOS update!

And I know what you mean about it “springing back” that is sooooo annoying!

The suggested words are just above the keyboard if you enable that option...
