Steps to avail iPhone keyboard as a trackpad:

• When you are typing text, press and hold the spacebar and you will see the keyboard turning blank
• Drag your finger around to move your cursor through the text
• When the cursor is where you want it to be, just let go of the cursor.

Users can also tap and hold the cursor by themselves to move it around. But if you will apply force on the virtual trackpad, you will begin selection from the current position of the cursor which means you can select the entire paragraph or sentence without releasing your finger. Whereas, it will end when you will decrease the pressure.

This trackpad function will work with any text box, as long as you are using iPhone’s default keyboard. Also, this method of the iPhone is only available on iPhone 6S or later models.
