Copy and pasting a text in Messaging

Once I copy a picture or text, then go to Messaging and click …paste….my camara pops up on bottom and I can’t paste? How do I fix?

Hello,

it seems like you may be tapping the wrong button. Make sure you're tapping directly on the text that says "Paste" and not the icon next to it. For more information on selecting, cutting, copying and pasting, See this Apple Support article: Select, cut, copy, and paste text on iPhone - Apple Support
