Insert A Hyperlink in Discussions Post

Using my iPhone 6, how do I insert a hyperlink into my Discussions Post, or wherever else.


FWIW, I just create one in Apple Discussions, using the Outlook App, found in the AppStore.


But can I do so using my iPhone?

Don't know if there is a different/better way to do it, but I simply press on the URL I want to copy and I get a small pop up with a couple of options, one being "copy address". i choose that and then, within the reply/document I want to place that, I simply press/tap on the blinking cursor until I get a pop up menu which includes the choice to "paste". I choose that and that will paste the URL/link.

To all our there: Using Outlook is a successful workaround.


Thank you for that reply.


My only need to do so is because a “copy and paste”-ed URL can be extremely long.


Being so ridiculously in length, it cuts off the post in forums. Ultimately, it makes the reader have to scroll down to the next paragraph. Using an asterisk seems the most logical way to go.


This is applicable only for viewing a post on a iOS device. But, viewing the post on a full screen would be of no concern, for most.
