Betting on the Web – Why I Build PWAs

One mobile safari bug that really irritates me is not being able to move the cursor on a text input element. Basically, if the text in there is longer than the element, you won't be able to move the cursor left or right. You can only work with the visible part of the input element. Try it - it's really quite terrible!

I know. Same with textareas, especially if they're wrapped in some kind of scrollable container. It is a mess. I don't know why it's not being fixed.

The only reason I can think of is that Apple intentionally keeps the mobile experience slightly crappy so that people perceive native apps having higher quality.

Of all companies, Apple should be the one with the best usability in a browser, no? But hardly so.

You can move the cursor by long pressing on the words to bring up the magnifying glass.
