I've never seen selecting text in that manner. Once you have one finger on the screen, the other will not register, unless it is one of the specific actions that you do with more than one finger. If you double tap on a single work, it should select that and then you can select either All text, or you can hold one of the blue buttons and drag that box around more text, then when the menu pops up, select Cut.

My sister just told me the same thing "The only way I get it to work is push down where you want
to start, it brings up a choice for Select, then drag to the end of your
selection, then hit Cut. "
Thanks to both of you. I know I used to do it with two fingers. But no matter, I know how to do it now.
Glad you got it working. Like I said, I've never seen it done that way, and I've had them all from the start. Good luck with your iPhone and enjoy.
