What is the way text is selected on iOS devices?
Selecting text on an iPhone device is a very simple thing that anyone can learn to do by following a few guidelines. There are various ways to select text on iPhone and each of them is different.
On these devices you can choose to select a single word, a large paragraph, and even select a block of text . In each of these ways of text selection few words or many words are taken. In order for you to learn how to use this selection function fully, we will show you the different ways of selecting text in the next three sub-topics.
To select a single word
Let’s take WhatsApp messages as an example to explain text selection. Pay attention to how the text of a message is taken on WhatsApp:
- Turn on your cell phone.
- Open WhatsApp.
- Enter the chat from which you want to get the text portion.
- Locate message.
- Keep it pressed.
- In the extra options that will appear at the top, select one that says ‘ Copy‘.
- Now, paste the text in the write bar of WhatsApp.
- Long press on a word and cut it.
This is how a single word is selected within an iPhone device. Since the app doesn’t give you an option to select a single word , you have no choice but to take all the text and then cut the word you want.
Speaking more about WhatsApp, you need to know that in this application there is already a way to disable read receipts for messages .
Select an entire paragraph
When you want to select only a paragraph of text within a WhatsApp chat from your iPhone, you must follow the next instructions:
- Start your cell phone
- open whatsapp,
- Access the chat where the text you want to get is,
- Locate the message
- hold it down,
- At the top, choose the copy option and that’s it.
In case you did not know, with WhatsApp it is already possible to make a specific configuration so that your photos do not go to the gallery .
Select a block of text
The last process that will be shown is the one that shows how to select a complete block of text within your iPhone, using the WhatsApp app, as an example:
- Start your cell phone.
- Open WhatsApp.
- Enter the chat.
- Locate the messages.
- Select the ‘ Copy‘ function at the top and you’re done.
In that simple way, it is acquired from WhatsApp. When you want to get text from other messaging apps, you can repeat the same process. And, when you want to select text from somewhere else, just long press on the beginning word of the sentence and then underline the rest of the text.
It should be noted that, if you want to start socializing more, choose to learn how to share your WhatsApp statuses to Facebook and thus locate more people.
What actions can be performed with the text once you have selected it on your iPhone?
When a small or large portion of text is selected, there are several things that can be done with it. See what are the things you can do once you learn to select text within your iPhone mobile :
copy the content
The first of the options is to copy the content. By copying the content you have the possibility to paste it in the place you want in order to send it to another place . The ‘Copy’ option for the text section is very useful when you want to forward the same message to other people.
For example, if a friend sends you a message with some information and you want to send the same message to your family members, all you have to do is copy the content and send it simultaneously. For this kind of thing, the ‘Copy’ action is useful.
cut your text
Another action that can be used when having a good portion of text selected is ‘Cut’. With this action you take the text, but you do it completely, without leaving a trace of the place from which you took it.
replace
The third action is to replace. This helps you to take any amount of text to change it for another one, which you decide. In case at any time you have a problem with your iPhone mobile, do not hesitate to go to the iPhone technical support website to see how to fix the problem.
