Why is this taking so long? Getting numbers - 4 digits or more - underlined and ready to copy should be standard issue in any SMS app, really.

I, also, find it inconvenient to have to copy the entire message. Especially when I want to update or add a contact to my phone. Hope this feature gets taken into consideration soon. It will make a world of a difference.

So I'm guessing after 3 years of people asking for this feature and 1000s of votes with no response that this isn't coming any time soon?

Probably just have the option appear when you click on the message as "select text"

Need to be able to select specific text in a message not the entire message. About to delete this app.

The ability to highlight & copy a small, select portion of a text seems like such a basic, common-sense need.  I can't understand why this function. wouldn't simply be a given on any messaging app..?  

I rarely need to copy an entire msg, but I *frequently* have to copy a phone no., an address, a name, a url, etc. Being forced to copy the entire msg, paste it, & then edit out all the unnecessary text is awkward and a total waste of time.  Please add this functionality SOON! 

I agree with others down in the comments, copy and paste of a selection of text would be a whole lot more convenient compared to right now where the whole message has to be copied

This would be very useful. This is why I miss my Note, you can select any text with your SPen .

Please allow highlighting any part of the message... Ex: phone number or email within text

If you just tap on the message once it gives you the option to copy it.

It's an awesome app, but mentioned functionality is an everyday need. It would be great if you can provide it.

I regret paying for this app only because of this functionality missing. Its common sense!

Copying part of a text message (not the entire message) would be extremely useful!

Copy and paste a selection of text! Please!!! This would be such a great app with this element, I'd even buy the pro version... no way without this most basic of basic of features. Copy entire message only is pointless, useless and frankly annoying! Apart from that, I love it and it does everything else so well!

Single word copy and paste please!

I'd be delighted to have this feature! I totally love this texting app! Keep up the awesome work!

Seriously though! Sometimes I only want to copy a few words in the middle of the text instead of the whole thing! A "partial selection" feature or something would be nice.

This is currently the only thing stopping me from upgrading to pro.

iPhone does it easily of course. yet another clunky android

"solution"

I'd LOVE to see this in. I'd gladly swap copy/pasting full messages to copy/pasting sections of text.

Copy and paste would be wonderful, sometimes I take text from previous messages, web pages, and even notepad documents. Definitely +1 for this
