iOS 13

If you find gestures difficult, a three-finger tap and

hold brings up a shortcut bar. It’s easier to manage

Cursor movement

Moving the cursor around in iOS     13   has changed, too.

It’s a little more intuitive – simply tap the blinking text

entry cursor and then drag it around.

You don’t have to hold for any length of time to

‘pick it up’, just touch and immediately drag where

you  want it to go.

Unfortunately, the little magnifying glass pop-up

is gone, which can make precise cursor placement

difficult as you can’t see the characters right

underneath your fingertip.

Open the shortcut bar

If you find these gestures difficult, you might want to

avail yourself of the new shortcut bar instead. Just tap
