Since I’ve updated to iOS 16.5, the “select all” option when highlighting text on my iPhone is no longer there. I want to see the “select all” option when I am typing something (highlighting the words I just wrote)
how to fix this?

I got it! In the text message, with the cursor anywhere, press and hold it for just a second. A bubble will pop up above your finger and then select all will be an option! I don’t know why the powers that be keep “fixing” things that aren’t broken!
The next problem to solve is the mess that ensues when you try to put the cursor somewhere to add or correct or change something in this very message. Sometimes it will highlight a word close to where you touched. Sometimes it will highlight the word with the options to move the highlighted area to include a bigger field. Eventually, if you keep tapping different places the plain old cursor will show up. At that point, I use the spacebar to move it to where I want to go. Very inefficient and annoying. (Or I could be doing it incorrectly. If so, please let me know how to do it properly.) 😉
I got a 15 pro max myself, it won’t let me select or copy ANY text, not even a single word,from certain pages. But will on others.. what gives?!
Thanks to you and Apple has it wrong. Once the company of intuitive interfaces is now one that we have to guess about.
Does not work for me.
I have also the same but the word elect do not appears. Only the COPY appears. What to do then? It do not work.
Yes, me too
That doesn’t work.
Brilliant but it doesn’t work on the iPhone. I’m not sure why. If Apple is going to take away some perfectly useful features, they should let people know before downloading the update
I need “select all” in order to use my phone. Is it possible to downgrade iOS so I can have Select All back reliably and easily?
Apple is thinking "what's best for Apple?", not "what's best for Apple users?". That's been the problem for a long time now. As far as never updating again, they'll either annoy you until you fold or strip away features and access until you have no other option. Possibly the most advanced tech company on the planet is also the most diabolical.
Didn't work.
I don’t see “Select All” option when I highlight text on iPhone
