Can’t copy links in Safari iOS

I used to be able to long hold on a link or linked image then copy the link for use elsewhere. But since iOS 13 this no longer works. I end up having to use Brave instead. Is there a new way of copying links?

Hello Philpott,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It's my understanding that you're unable to copy links in Safari after updating your iPhone. I can see how this could be concerning. I'm happy to help.


If you haven't already, make sure that your iPhone has the latest version of iOS.

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If the issue persists, force Safari to close and restart your iPhone.

Philpott,


Thank you for trying the recommended steps and following up. We recommend reinstalling iOS with a computer. This step can resolve possible software issues. When reinstalling iOS, the computer will completely remove your current software and install a fresh version. It's important to make sure you have a recent backup before trying this step.
