Why many texting apps still don't let choose specific parts to copy from a message?

Couldn’t you copy them into a reply, then delete the bits you don’t want to keep? I’m possibly misunderstanding though.

Either way, yeah it’s odd that we can’t select individual bits of text.

Pro-tip on Android at least - if you open your Recently, you can manually select text that was on your screen even if it wasn’t selectable at full screen.

That’s one way of doing it.

Is that an option on OneUi as well? I haven’t been able to figure it out.

I think that is a Pixel exclusive feature
