Say Goodbye to Messaging Frustrations!

Apple is back at it with iOS 26, and this update brings a much-anticipated solution to one of the most annoying issues users have faced in the Messages app.

Introducing the 'Select' Feature!

This time, when you tap and hold a message bubble, you’ll see a brand new ‘Select’ option pop up alongside the usual copy and reaction tools. That's right! No more stressing over whether you want to copy a whole message when all you really need is a single line of text.

With the 'Select' feature at your fingertips, you can now highlight just the bits you need from any message. Whether it's text messages or iMessages, this handy tool allows you to drag and highlight precise text and copy only what you want!

Perfect for Quick Reference!

Imagine receiving a long message with an address, phone number, and the name of a restaurant—all mixed together. Now, you can seamlessly grab just the address to paste directly into your Maps app without having to sift through the entire message! No more clunky editing and frustration.

Get Ready for iOS 26!

This significant update is set to make your messaging experience smoother than ever. Apple is gearing up to release the first public beta of iOS 26 soon, with a full launch expected this fall. Stay tuned—your messaging woes are about to be a thing of the past!
