“How do I use copy and paste on the iPhone with the new 3.0 software update?”
There are a couple of ways you can use copy and paste on the iPhone and iPod touch.
First method:
Double tap a word, the word should now be highlighted lightly in blue and there will also be a little blue dot on each end of the word. You can copy that word by pressing the “Copy” button, or touch and drag the blue little dots to highlight even more words to copy. To paste what you just copied, double tap again and the “Paste” option will come up.
Second method:
Touch and hold on a word until a magnifying glass appears then let go. You will get the option to “Select” the word or “Select All”. The blue dot option will appear after your selection as well. To paste your text just do any of the following methods and you will get a “Paste” option.
