Editing text
You can select and edit text in certain applications, such as text you have entered in
a text field. Selected text can be cut or copied and later pasted within the same
application, or to a different application.
Note: Certain applications may not support text selection, or only support it in
certain areas. Other applications may offer specialized commands to select
text.
Selecting text

2. Tap and hold the text or word you want to select.
The selected text is highlighted, with a tab at each end of the selection.
3. Drag either tab to expand or reduce the amount of selected text, or tap Select
all.

Inserting text
