Here are some tips on using copy and paste. To use copy and paste, you’ll need an iPhone – any model – running OS 3.0.
Copy and paste is controlled through a pop up menu. In order to get it to pop up, tap on a word or area of the screen and hold your finger down. When the magnifying glass pops up, you can remove your finger.
