In this series, TECHBOOK presents the best iPhone hacks and tricks—with video and detailed instructions.

The iPhone has undergone a long development history since its launch in 2007. Over the years, Apple has continually expanded the iOS operating system, often adding small and large, sometimes well-hidden features. In the “iPhone Hacks” series, TECHBOOK showcases the best and most practical of these features.

In Part 10, you’ll learn how to move the cursor in messages and texts even more easily.

How It Works

1. Open a text field, such as in the Notes app

2. Press and hold the space bar even after the characters on the keyboard disappear

3. Now scroll on the keyboard to the left, right, up, or down to move the cursor in the text
