How to use copy and paste on Android

How do I copy and paste on Android?

If you think about which device you type the most on in a day, it's likely your phone, and that's fine. But sometimes typing on a phone can be a bit of a pain in the keister and if you've typed out a long tirade of a text and want to share it with someone else, typing it out all over again sucks.



Like on a computer, you can just copy and paste text on your Android phone or tablet. It's easy peasy and here's how to do it!

Note

: This is generally how you copy and paste in Android versions Lollipop to Nougat. Some phones may have slightly different implementations.

How to copy and paste text

  • Find the text you want to copy and paste. It can be from a website, a text message, whatever.

  • Tap and hold on the text.

  • Tap and drag the highlight handles to highlight all the text you want to copy and paste.

  • Tap Copy in the menu that appears.

  • Tap and hold in the space where you'd like to paste the text.

  • Tap Paste in the menu that appears.




  • How to copy and paste a link

    If you want to share a link with someone, you can copy the link from the address bar in your browser, or copy the link address from linked text. Here's how:
  • Find the link you want to copy and paste.

  • Tap and hold the link.

  • Tap Copy link address.

  • Tap and hold in the space where you want to paste the link.

  • Tap  Paste in the menu that appears.



  • That's all !
