Just found out about this.
Type something then hold down the spacebar to allow you to shift the cursor and edit. Twelvetington times easier than tapping the screen to move to a position.
WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS BEFORE?
Works on my iPhone, but apparently does the same on (some?) androids too.

Is this just an iphone thing? On android you can just tap anywhere in the text with a long press and bring the cursor up.

I know how this makes me look, but I'll say it anyway...
pressing and holding on the space bar, and then moving your finger left or right to slide the cursor through text has been an Android feature for so long, I've forgotten how long...

I don't think Mik Jobs is on the Apple payroll promoting it as a new thing.

I only found this out a couple of weeks ago.
It’s amazing.
I can also send a message with lazers.
What a time to be alive!!

Next you’ll be trying to convince Marv that you knew about the rear view mirror dip feature before he told you.

Age old feature, however I find it easier to just tap the cursor to where you want it most of the time.
