iOS 13. iPhone X. Safari, working in text boxes such as on StackExchange.
Happens all the time where I miss a space bar and wind up with 2 words glued together. I don’t use Simple English, so iOS auto-suggest usually fails to see it as 2 words.
Somehow I dodge the bullet of AutoCorrect changing it.
But now, I need to place the cursor in the middle of the mystery word, so I can add a space bar. IOS can’t relate. It wants me to either change it to a different word altogether, or stubbornly selects the whole word.
I can drag the handles to the middle to where it selects 1-3 characters, sacrifice those, and retype them. That sucks.
I want to know the right way to place the cursor mid-word.

You can use Trackpad mode.
Long-press the Space bar, than slide your finger on the keyboard to position the cursor.
