Missing Text Magnifying Glass

Any update on this? SO INCREDIBLY ANNOYING!!!! I cannot see behind my fingers and find it impossible to get the insertion bar where I need it to go. Please bring back the text magnifier feature!

Once you learn to use iOS 13's text editing tools, you may find that they are actually easier.

My favorite feature is pressing and holding on the space bar. The keyboard then turns into a sort of track pad and it's incredibly easy to move the insertion point to where you want it. I find it far easier than the magnifying glass.
