Why can’t I copy and paste anymore on imessage on my iPad?

Why can’t I copy and paste in IMessage on my iPad? Copy and paste works in all my other apps but when I try to click to paste something or copy the option doesn’t pop up.

iPad Air, iPadOS 15

Thanks for reaching out Meganfr3sh,


If you can't copy and paste text or in Messages on your iPad, see if there is any improvement if you Restart your iPad.


After tapping to Select, cut, copy, and paste text on iPad do you see any options after tapping in Messages? If not, let's also confirm that you're using the latest public iPadOS software, which is currently iPadOS 16.4.1.


If you are on a different version, you can tap Settings > General > Software Update to see your available options.


Keep us posted.


We are here for you.
