That also works if the link is actually read as a URL, but if the URL is embedded it won’t work, also you have to be careful and make sure tere are no extra spaces at the end of it or a period after you paste it. I sometimes use the 3-finger quadruple tap to copy a tracking number only to find afer I paste it in my tracking up that it has a period at the end. Also, Voiceover may say “link” to indicate that this is in fact a link and the 3-finger quadruple tap will also copy the word link after the URL. If, for example, I touch the Phone app in my dock and Voiceover says “Dock Phone” and I do a 3-finger quadruple tap Voiceover does not only copy “Phone” but “Dock Phone”, basically anything that is spoken will be copied even if visually it is not there.

Hi Alan, Touch the link to bring focus there and tap four times with three fingers. This copies the last thing VoiceOver said to the clipboard. In this case, it will be the link.

I'm running iOS 12.2 on an iPhone 8 and am using the standard Mail app. I know the links in the source email are complete and unbroken but I'm unaware of a gesture to make it easy to copy a URL link. I would have thought by this point that one could give a link focus and do a gesture such as a double tap and hold or a single finger swipe that would present a menu allowing you to copy it. I have been unsuccessful when attempting this and also when trying to share one of these podcast links. Be aware that these are nonstandard podcast feeds which aren't available when searching in the usual manner in a podcast app or when browsing podcasts that have gone through the Apple podcast registration process. Any help directing me on the easiest way to copy a URL for pasting would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
