Copy-pasted text not delivered, typed text delivered! Annoying!!!

Hi Apple,


When I copy-paste the text into text messages it's not delivered, but when I type it works just fine. It's very inconvenient to retype something long that can be easily copy-pasted!


Please fix that.


Thank you,


Madina

Hello madinazt,


Thanks for following up with us. Were you able to try the suggested actions? If not, give those a try and see if it helps.


Do you happen to have any 3rd party keyboards installed? If you're not sure, go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards and take a look. If there is a 3rd party keyboard installed, try removing it to see if that makes a difference with the copy and paste feature.
