Select All (copy) option not available in Safari for iPhone or Chrome
Linking previous thread on the issue: The ‘select all’ function is gone! - Apple Community since it's locked.
I tried all the recommendation but they don't work.
For one thing, in the latest iOS 17/16 versions you can't simply tap, double tap, or press down on a blank part on your screen or in between blank spaces, words, or characters in Safari or Chrome for the iPhone. If you do that, nothing happens.
Pressing down will automatically highlight the first word even if you don't tap on the word. Then the following functions appear "copy, Find selection, Look Up" and more. But no "Select All"
One of the comments by @victorcabral said to "tap a neutral blank space in the text box and then tap a space between the words". I am lost at his lingo. I don't know what is a "text box".
In my case, when tap any blank space, nothing happens. .
If anyone knows of a "trick" to select all on a webpage in Safari (aside from the share function), please provide your insight or solution.
