Is there anyway to get it switched from holding on a word to highlight it, to double tapping on a word instead like every other Oem? Double tapping a SINGULAR WORD in a text should highlight it and NOT tapping and holding it.


Here is a link. How it works in chrome is how it works on iPhones pixels OnePlus Xiaomi and any other Oem. How you see it on the messaging is how it works on Samsung.

@usero7pkbscDVM What OEMs are you describing? The holding on a word is used by the Android OS. So Pixels, and other phones based on Android use this process.

There's also a very little known about feature on the Samsung keyboard where you can put the cursor somewhere, and then tap that little four arrow almost like a d-pad looking button and then you can use the arrows to select letters and then you can hit copy and stuff like that.
