Why can’t I place the caret on my iPhone? (lemmy.ml)

If I try to edit text I have typed out, it is very difficult. It’s impossible to place the caret in the middle of a word and difficult to place it between. Very frustrating and I don’t understand why.

Mate, I have tried every which in the three years I've owned the iPad. It will not allow the cursor to be placed anywhere but the end or the start of a word. As an annoyance it's up there with the exclamation and question marks not being grouped with the rest of the punctuation.

Well, I believe you, but I don’t know what the problem could be then. I do this on two different ipads and an iphone, and it’s always worked for me. I did it twice just fixing autocorrects in this reply.
