Q: How do I copy and paste?

Editing text

It’s easy to make changes to text you enter. An onscreen magnifying glass helps you position the insertion point. Grab points on selected text let you select more or less text. You can also cut, copy, and paste text and photos, within an app or across apps.

Position the insertion point: Touch and hold to bring up the magnifying glass, then drag to position the insertion point.

Select text: Tap the insertion point to display the Select and Select All buttons. You can also double-tap to select a word. Drag the grab points to select more or less text. In read-only documents, such as webpages, or email or text messages you’ve received, touch and hold to select a word.

Cut or copy text

Select text, then tap Cut or Copy.

Paste text

Tap the insertion point and tap Paste. The last text that you cut or copied is inserted. Or select text and tap Paste to replace the text.
