I’d take the complaints about iOS 13 text editing with a grain of salt. I’m on board with most of the criticisms of iOS 13, including that the new text editing functionality is hard to discover, but now that I am familiar with it I would not want to go back to the old UI.
- Nextgrid 7y agoJust curious, which parts of the new UI do you prefer compared to the old one? To me it seems like a huge loss in functionality (loss of the "long press + magnifying glass" method) with subpar alternatives being offered ("picking up" and moving the cursor without seeing what's under your finger, hold space bar to get a rudimentary touchpad, etc).
- barnabee 7y agoPicking up and moving the cursor in iOS 13 shows the cursor about half a centimetre above my finger as soon as I move the finger up or down at all. The precise location it will be moved to is perfectly visible to me. Is this not how the feature works for everyone else?
- sjy 7y agoI never liked the magnifying glass method. I don’t need to zoom in, I just need to put my finger somewhere other than directly on top of the text I’m trying to edit (the “pick up” method does succeed at this, although it’s not immediately intuitive). So from my perspective, I lost one subpar method and gained two slightly less subpar methods.
