Double tapping in inputs/text areas to highlight on iOS seems to be the expected behavior everywhere. Double tapping results in highlighting the tapped word in messages, spotlight search, Safari search, renaming a folder, settings search, etc. Additionally, since we are talking about inputs on Safari, double tapping correctly highlights the tapped word on the websites Amazon, Facebook, and YouTube, just to name a few.
