I don't have a phone running IOS 8 where I can test this any more, but I'm pretty sure I used to select text from things like web pages in Safari and paste it into LinkedIn updates. You'd have to use the pinch gesture first to highlight some text and then the copy option would show up in the roter.

In earlier versions of iOS, before nine, though, I don't think you can select 
text outside of an edit field. Correct me if this is wrong.


Thanks,

Exactly what I do. Or simply select the text then copy it to the clipboard. 
That new feature may be more convenient for others though.

In 8, when I have to copy garbage strings, I have VO speak it and then the 3 
finger quad tap, but you often get extra junk with it as well that you don't 
want in there because it literally copies what VO spoke.

Subject: Two small features in iOS 9 that I really I'm going to love


Have you ever had to copy out one of those long garbage letter number passwords 
and paste it somewhere else? That alone is going to make the text selection 
feature of iOS 9 a huge timesaver for me. Plus, when I have to reenter my email 
address or password, as is so common, presto, copy text. Paste done.
The other one I'm going to love is that little back button up in the top left 
of the status line. If you get emails with links, which you follow and read the 
article, then want to go back to mail, how cool is it that you can just tap 
that little button and not have to open the app switcher, find the mail app, 
and return. It's a little thing, but I love it.
