previously I was able to touch the text on screen and the select all, copy and paste options would appear. This no longer works. Can you fix this?

Hello Eerr2015 and welcome to Apple Support Communities. It appears you are having some difficulty copying and pasting text when using iOS 14.


You have not said what app you are using when you note this behavior. Not all apps support copying. For example, in the Messages app, long-pressing on any part of a message will bring up some options that involve the entire message but no option for selecting specific words or phrases. But doing the same thing in Mail or Notes will highlight that word with handles that you can drag to choose additional text.


Cheers.
