Something that's been bugging for a long time that I would like to know how to change. I believe many years ago we could change this sorta easily, but now I can't seem to find any way possible to do this.

 
It's also been hard to articulate my question in YouTube or Google 
 
When long-pressing to highlight text a pop-up for options: Transl, Copy, Cut, Paste, : (more options like "Select All' that's almost always on the 2nd page. Now I don't know about anyone else but I use "Select All" maybe 30 or 40% of the time and it's a bit annoying that option isn't readily available in the 1st pop-up. 
How can I bring the "Select All" from the 2nd page option to the 1st (where I think it really should be, and is by some code people? I hope I'm explaining this correctly - see screenshots. 
 
Best, 
Joel

Samsung (and Google) sometimes replace “Select all” with “Translate” when highlighting in apps like Chrome or Samsung Internet.

After you highlighted the text, tap the 3 dots to the right and you should see the select all option.

Op's saying they don't want to have to press the 3 dots, and they believe "select all should be one of the first options on the first page

You are right, I misread the issue.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any options to customize the context menu. You should put in a feedback in the support page requesting this. My brief research has found other people (in forums) wishing for this ability.

I also read this is an update issue on some devices. Do as @Pete-ohki suggested but try what I suggested in the meantime.

I misread your issue and unfortunately as @Pete-ohki says I agree with his answer. I researched fixes but found none. Hopefully there will be a fix soon. I don't have the issue on my device.
