I’ve been trying to get the magnified glass back since downloading IOS 13. Is it no longer available?
(Magnifying glass that appears when selecting text and holding finger on screen until it appears.)
iPad Pro 9.7-inch WiFi, Cellular
Hello,
iPad now handles text selection in different way. Instead of long-pressing on some text to display a magnifier, you now simply pickup the cursor and place it where you would like. If you double-tap a word, the word will select. If you triple-tap a word, the sentence will select. If you quadrupole-tap a word, the paragraph will select.
You can also use iPad’s trackpad mode. With the on-keyboard full sized, touch 2 fingers to the on-screen keyboard and pan your fingers around. This will move the cursor. If you double-tap with 2 fingers then the trackpad will enter text selection mode.
