At some point on iOS they deprecated the "magnifying glass" that appeared when you held down on a piece of text, instead making your finger "pick up" the cursor. They've eventually re-introduced a similar (but worse, as it automatically starts a selection at the current word) functionality it but during that time it was very annoying.

- marapuru 4y agoKudos to you. Why was this not explained in iOS...
- onemoresoop 4y agoI was aware of holding the spacebar and it somewhat works but it is clunky too when having to scroll right on the url. It is not completely broken but it used to be easier, that was my point.
