Copy/paste in rcs message

[Members_fhaRIcb]

When I long press a message I want to copy, I only get reaction options. I have tried pressing on just the bubble and not the text itself. Nothing works.

Select a message to copy and look at the top bar of the app. Is the copy icon there?

How do I delete Google messages and return to regular messenger

Are you using Google Messages? If so you can only copy the entire text of a message. After long pressing so a message is selected, go to the top of the screen. You will see an icon of two overlapping squares. Click that to copy the text.

The other option is to use AI select to circle and then select the text.

There are NO overlapping squares. Just a crying emoji in a balloon that says Create. If I click on it - I get a large selection of GIFs from my photo gallery.

@userpbSpSjKx1l What SMS messaging app are you using?

Me too! It's driving me crazy!

When you long-press the message bubble, the emoji bubble pops up. Don't press them, but look at the top menu bar and note the diagonal rectangular shapes overlapping each other just left of the garbage can. That is the copy function. Damm! I hate learning new apps! Took me over an hour, and it's not helping my high blood pressure!😡 Serene thoughts... ahhhh.
