I tend to copy/paste my text messages. I cannot do this with Google messaged on an incoming message nor a message I already sent. I really hate that this feature is not available!!! I can only do copy/paste before I send the text out. It makes it a real pain when I want to copy text for a different app. Very unhappy about this. I probably should complain to Google which I will.

I agree, Google Messages make you copy all. My fix for this is to take a screenshot, copy the exact text I want then delete the screenshot.

That's what I've done. It is a big inconvenience though. I'm downloading Samsung's Messages to check it out to see if I like it better.

I am confused. Please explain why you can't copy and paste. I do it just fine. You can even copy multiple sent or received at once. 1740257285884.jpg1740257285899.jpg

Mine has after the person's name a phone icon then a video call icon. Maybe I can settings somewhere. I haven't been able to find though.

Do you know if you're using Google messages or Samsung messages?

Some mentioned pressing my finger to highlight the message to get the copy icon. It works now

I use "circle to search" and then copy whatever part of the message you want, instead of copying the whole message
