I got this post from Facebook copying text with the iPhone. Taylor Brown commented: While "use the rotor" is my advice as well, you can copy text in 3 ways. You can use 3 fingers to tap 4 times fast to copy the last thing VO said. You can, in a text field, turn the rotor to edit, flick up to select all, flick up to copy, and it'll be copied. The last way is much more specific and takes practice. In a text field, set your rotor to words, get it just before what you want to copy, and place both thumbs on screen. To select word by word, pull your thumbs apart. Push them together if you over-select. Then turn the rotor to edit, flick up to copy, and double tap., 2 hours ago, 0 likes
