Utilizing the touchscreen, iPhone users can shift where the marker is seamlessly in a way that apparently a lot of people didn’t realise:

Evidently, it’s not limited to just the space bar either:
It doesnโt have to be the space bar. Press and hold any Part of the keyboard and you can drag the cursor. And if you donโt have a haptic keyboard, like on an iPad thatโs not the latest, use two fingers at once for the same effect.

A few people also responded that they already knew this with some even saying it’s a feature years old, but come on … sometimes these features are so simple, they are easy to overlook.
