Using the gmail app on my iPhone 12 Pro Max
When I’m composing or reading an email and I want to select all text I only get to drag select the text. There is only occasionally a pop up that says select all.
I’ve read that you drag select and then tap the highlighted text but that does not work for me.
someone please tell me how to do this :)
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16
I have had the same frustrating problem. The canned response you got offers no help whatsoever- it just assumes there must be something wrong with your phone or app and doesn’t acknowledge that there may actually be a problem with the software!
I stumbled on a workaround that does what we want. The bug lies in selecting uneditable text (like an email that has already been sent).
Forward the entire email and then you get editable text. Now, the <select all> option becomes available. Voila!
I hope this works for you as it did for me- I was so tired of this issue.

Hello MindSmackTV,
Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
If your Gmail app isn't working as expected, these steps should help:
"If an app on your iPhone or iPad doesn't work as expected, try this.
1.Close and reopen the app
Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
2.Restart your device
Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
3.Check for updates
To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad.
4.Delete the app, then redownload it
Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed."
