Cut, copy, and paste information
You can copy any selectable text, and you can cut any selectable text that
you yourself entered, for example, in a memo or an email. This includes text
you can select by dragging the cursor and paragraphs you can select by
tapping them (see Text selection gestures).
1 Select the text you want to cut or copy (see Text selection gestures).
2 Open the application menu and tap Edit > Cut or Copy.
3 Open the app and insert the cursor where you want to paste the text
(see Text selection gestures).
4 Open the application menu and tap Edit > Paste.
Use the Copy All or Select All feature
Some applications offer a Copy All menu option. For example, in Messaging,
you can start or open a conversation, open the application menu, and tap
Edit > Copy All. This saves the entire conversation as plain text, which you
can paste in a memo, email message, and so on.
Other apps offer a Select All menu option. For example, in Memos, you can
open a memo, open the application menu, and tap Edit > Select All. This
highlights the full memo text, which you can cut or copy.
Some apps offer both the Copy All and Select All features to perform
different text selection tasks:
Email: In an open email message in Email, use Copy All to copy the entire
message (including header info such as sender, recipient, and subject), or
use Select All to select just the message body text (see Copy messages).
Contacts: On the contact details screen, use Copy All to copy the contents
of the contact entry as plain text; or, on the contact edit screen, insert the
cursor in a field and use Select All to highlight the contents of that field.
TIP You can also use keyboard shortcuts to cut, copy, and paste. After
selecting the text or inserting the cursor, press and hold the gesture area until
a light appears under the surface of the gesture area, and press X (cut), C
(copy), V (paste), or A (copy/select all, in apps that support this feature).
