Cut, copy, and paste information
You can copy any selectable text, and you can cut any selectable text that
you entered, for example, in a memo or an email. This includes text you
can select by dragging the cursor and paragraphs you can select by
tapping them (see Text selection gestures).
1 Tap and hold the text you want to cut or copy.
2 Do one of the following:
• To select all text—for example, an entire memo or message: Tap
Select All. Depending on the app, the Select All option might not
be displayed.
• To select a portion of the text: Tap Select. To expand the selection,
drag the arrows at the beginning and end of the selected text.

text to display the options.

5 Open the app where you want to paste the text.
6 Tap and hold the insertion point where you want to paste the text.

Select items in a list
Lists enable you to select from a range of options. Lists are different from
menus (see Use the menus), which give you access to additional features.
Lists are hidden until you tap the currently displayed option for that list.
1 Tap the currently displayed option to open the list. For example,
when creating a new event in Calendar, tap 15 minutes before to
display the list of reminder options.
TIP You can also delete a shortcut by tapping the shortcut and then tapping
Delete.
TIP On screens where you cannot tap to select, cut, copy, or paste, the
application menu may have items for these tasks. To check, open the application
menu and look for an Edit item. If Edit is displayed, tap it to open a submenu of
options: Select All, Cut, Copy, and/or Paste. Tap an item to perform that action.
