Can't Select Text to Copy and Paste

Ooooooo! The double tap WORKED on my notes app! Yayeee, thank you!

I can no longer “select” in the apple Notes app. I used to be able to select and then make some words bold, italic or underline. Now can’t do any of it. Can’t even select.

the **** apple why would u change it. **** used to be so ******* easy now it takes multiple minutes to paste like tf? nobody complained and y’all dumb ***** decided to change it

I have the same issue in all apps.

THANKS SO MUCH for the info TechPhobic61! It really is so much easier to select, cut, paste, etc. now that I know how to do it.

TechPhobic61, I forgot to say your answer should have been selected as the best solution.

TechPhobic61’s answer SOLVES the problem, as far as I can tell.

I can’t copy and paste anything with my iPhone pro max 12

I believe it’s because of censorship on the Internet. I’m having the same problem and can copy and paste in other places except Internet links. They are wanting to be in control of what is shared

I’m sorry you believe the earth is flat. Fact check it. It’s not. Yes, I can copy and paste from here. However, this is a forum, a discussion, not a link.

This was not a problem before the IPhone 11. I have always been able to easily copy and paste with the IPhone. I don’t know if it’s the phone or software, but it alone makes the phone useless to me.

This answer is fantastic!! Thank you to poster. I’ve been struggling with this issue for months and this is the first time I’ve seen this solution. It works! Yaaaaaayyyyy

Tapping twice to copy and paste does not work on my phone. Maybe I should go back to my Samsung! This is crazy! If it’s not broken, why fix it?

This solution works. Would’ve been better customer service if Apple had announced this feature change prominently and I’m nonetheless grateful you provided the solution. Thank you.
