You can then ‘grab’ the cursor and move it. Or just use the hold spacebar trick two merge those two steps into a single action.

Yeah, I just find it a bit strange that you can't just tap once for exact placement. I know from previous non-iOS phones that it's not that hard to get it in the right spot.

Works for me on the second tap.

If I tap twice it selects the whole word. Leaving more time between taps has the same result as one tap. iOS 15.1.

Don’t double tap. Tap once, wait a sec, tap again in center of word.

Doesn't work, maybe it's model-specific. I'm on a first gen iPhone SE.
