      In new iOS the ability to press to insert cursor at a random place in text seems broken. Only selects word level. Am I doing something wrong or did the gesture change? Really annoying. Happens in Twitter and Gmail, but not in slack app.

      Ah thanks for the reminder. I know about it but never made it a habit. Guess I should.

          better is smoothly: touch-and-hold the cursor then drag downwards fractionally to expose an enlarged cursor that you can place with character-level precision

          endcap word-level selection is intended to be a feature, I think

          Yes, the space bar trick works on Twitter, but not in all apps. Also, unless you already know the trick, you can’t find out about the trick. Every aspect of this feature gets an F.

          yup - tricks, like magic tricks, counter intuitive - secrets not discoverable without social sharing - until someone designs something more 'obvious'?

      Loading seems to be taking a while.
