Request for Feature Adjustment: Option to Disable Automatic Text Selection Menu on iPad

🌟 Enhance My User Experience with an Option to Disable Automatic Text Selection Menu on iPad :


Hello Apple Community and Team,


I'm reaching out to share a user experience concern and a suggestion for iPadOS. As a regular writer and user of the iPad Pro, I've encountered a frequent interface challenge that I believe could be improved for a more streamlined user experience.


🔍 Issue at Hand—The automatic pop-up menu that appears upon text selection on the iPad, offering options like cut, copy, paste, etc., is undeniably handy. However, in certain situations, this feature can become more of an interruption than a convenience. Specifically, when working on tasks that require frequent text selection, the pop-up menu can disrupt the workflow, leading to a less efficient interaction with the device.


📝 Suggested Feature—An option in the settings to enable/disable the automatic appearance of this text selection menu. This flexibility would allow users to tailor their iPad experience more closely to their individual needs and workflows. It could be particularly beneficial for professionals or users who utilize their iPads for extensive typing or editing tasks.


🌐 User Experience Enhancement—This minor adjustment could significantly enhance the iPad's user interface, aligning it more closely with the diverse ways in which people use their devices. It would offer a more customizable experience, allowing users to choose between the convenience of quick-access editing tools and a cleaner, interruption-free interaction with text.


Thank you for considering this suggestion. I believe it could make a substantial difference in the iPad experience for many users, myself included.


Warm regards,

Der’ron

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17
