When editing a misspelled word, I’ll do a quick tap in space to right of the letter I want to eliminate. Backspace once. Then I enter correct letter. Since iOS update 13.1.2, unable to edit, only to delete.
NOW: When I tap on word, it highlights the whole word.. no matter how much I tap, it continues to highlight whole word. Only option is to highlight>delete whole word> rewrite correct word.
Thanks for reading

The ability to place the insertion cursor to delete letters or insert letters can be done via the keyboard, using it like a trackpad. See this page from the iPhone User Guide. Select, cut, copy, and paste text on iPhone - Apple Support

Thanks taking the time to post that SravanKrA, I didn't know... and it's the answer I needed.
Incidentally, my original complaint was edited by the mod because it was deemed to be critical Apple. We can't have that, can we. Apple is perfect.
Thanks very much ChrisJ4203. That's what I needed.
I did search (obviously ineffectively) and I did find my question. But Apple closed the conversation before anyone posted the answer. I guess this gets deleted by the mod now (as was part of my original post) because it's critical of the perfect Apple Inc! Or perhaps I get banned for criticising Apple three times in one day? I wouldn't be surprised :-)
Have you tried this trackpad technique? Change Keyboard as Trackpad to move insertion point (Cursor).
Press and Hold the spacebar and move your fingers!
