I sound so old and dumb for asking this lol.

After I got the update (17.1.1) I can’t double click a word to highlight it. It doesn’t let me highlight so if I want to delete a word it makes me use the delete button to manually delete the word letter by letter. Pls help it’s so fucking annoying and it’s driving me insane

Then try single-tapping it. Both work for me, but the single tap is extremely inconsistent. Sometimes it’s impossible to move the typing indicator because it keeps highlighting whatever word is closest, other times it works first try. But I can definitely still highlight words in both ways.
