Copy pasting web address into emails on iPad

I use to be all to be looking at a web page and select all, copy, and then paste the URL in an email on my iPad. When I do it now when I paste nothing shows up. How can I copy and then paste URL in my email.

Thanks
Rick

Welcome to the discusssions.

Touch a spot in the URL in the browser address bar until you see the magnifying glass (as though you're going to fix a typo). When you let go, you should see the Select All option appear, then after you tap that, copy. It's a bit tricky because the keyboard keeps popping up, but just ignore that.

Then go to your email, hold down where you want to put the URL till you see the magnifying glass, then let go and you should see paste.

Isn't an easier way to do this is to click the + and then "mail link to this page"? It automatically opens your mail app and puts the URL in the body....

Yes, if you haven't already started your email, it is for sure.
