Twitter is finally bringing a much more necessary tool – the ability to select text from tweets – to its Android client after a long wait. This support has been available on an iOS version for a while now.
While the community is confused that this support has been available in the Android client too for a long time, it’s only available for Pixel phones due to a special feature, and not on other Android phones. This addition to the Android app was first spotted by Jane Manchun Wong, who shared a screenshot displaying the selection of desired text of a tweet.
Text Selection in Twitter Android App
Twitter is a great place to update or get updated about the surroundings. And with short texts – tweets – showing up constantly everywhere, you may feel like copying some of the good ones to post them elsewhere. And copying texts from tweets isn’t possible unless you’re using Twitter on a browser.
But understanding the community, Twitter added support for selecting and copying specific texts from tweets in its iOS app. And since it’s helpful, the platform is now bringing this support to the Android counterpart too.
