LP3 Tap-to-Change for Text Corrections

I’ve been reading through previous posts and don’t believe I’ve seen this request yet — apologies if I missed it! I’m wondering if it would be possible to add a tap-to-change feature for correction suggestions in the texting app.

At the moment, it takes a long press to bring up the dropdown of possible words. Most of the time, though, the first suggestion is the correct word (a simple fix for a typo). Having the option to correct with a single tap would make the process much quicker.

I understand that a full autocorrect feature has already been discussed and isn’t currently available, but this would keep with the current approach — requiring the user to choose a correction — while reducing the extra steps. In other words, a short tap to accept the top suggestion would save time without changing the overall model.
