Adjust length of time for long press?

Weird thing here... is there a way to adjust the length of time that is a long press? When drawing with the pen tool on iPad, my indecisiveness consistently deletes the point I want to adjust because it thinks I'm doing a long press. And then I have to undo and go back to my train of thought. Eventually as I gain more experience I'm sure I'll get faster with the app, but right now it's slow going as I learn. 

Is there a way to adjust how long is a long press? iPad OS setting or AI? I feel like I should know this... 

 

Thanks!!

Hi! Sorry for the late reply - this was just fixed last week. If you update Illustrator on the iPad to version 3.0, your long press will not delete the anchor point. Yay! Hopefully, that solves it for you. Updating should happen automatically, but you can also go to the Creative Cloud app > updates and tap check for updates to give it a nudge.
