Apostrophe swipe gesture changed on iPad 10

Latest ios: Apostrophe problem

iPad 10 with latest ios

I'm sure that a swipe upwards on the exclamation mark used to give an apostrophe. It still does but it's now up and left. Straight up gives ¡ which is annoying.

Is there any way to change it?

TIA

iPad (10th generation)

Long press gives 2 options ¡ is directly above - a symbol I'll never need - where as the apostrophe is above and to the left which isn't convenient when typing fast. It didn’t do this until OS26

If you do long press and just let go, you should get ' . Does that work for you or not?


To ask Apple to change how that key now works to what you prefer, you should let them know via
