Line rotor on long texts not always showing

Hi,
This was also the case in ios 18 so it's not an ios 26 specific question I'm asking here.
TLDR you know these very long messages but that are on one single line? In iMessage or Whatsapp for example.
I don't remember if it's false memory or this was the case before, but I seem to remember that in the past we could have the line rotor show up even when there was no new line character when a message exceeded a given length, so it was very easy to review it in smaller digestible chunks. Did we lose this capability or this was never the case but should/could be upon feedback?
Thanks!
