Tech question -How do you copy & paste text with an iPhone

I know how to copy links but headlines and paragraphs from articles is a mystery to me.

1. Touch the text, hold, and a second later the area will light up blue, and you get a 'copy' pop-up.

You will also see blue handles. Select the text you want and touch 'Copy.'

Click the reader icon to simplify the page beforehand, and you will find it much easier to do.

2. You should be able to tap

the text on the screen with your fingertip and select or select all options appear (you can also edit your selection using the little highlight slider.) Then double-tap where you want the text to go and a paste option will appear.

Hope that helps!
