Tips
  • In some apps, you need to double-tap a word to select it (instead of touching & holding it).
  • When you use Copy, the text is copied to the clipboard in your phone's memory, overwriting previous text in the clipboard. If you want to save and manage everything you copy into the clipboard, search for “clipboard manager” in Play Store to select and download an app.
