If you hold the section that you want to copy a new menu should pop up allowing you to select text and copy it.

it's a little difficult at first, but you will get use to it. what you have to do is fine what you want to copy and hold you finger over it. a menu will pop up and you should be able to select copy. navigate to where you want to paste it and press down on the screen. a menu will pop up and then you select paste.

Ok, I'm on tapatalk, and I'm trying to copy text and its not working at all. I don't wanna say this is the wrong platform cuz I should be able to copy any text I want. I don't need a app right?

I find the trick is to tap-and-hold at the start or end point of what you want to select... when the popup appears, choose Select Text... that activates the selection process... now, tap to the left or right of what you want to copy to select the "end" point (effectively you've chose "from here" and "to here")... then tap and hold again and choose Copy/Cut... in the web browser it's a lot easier... tap-and-hold auto-selects a word/paragraph/sentence based on context, and you can grab the selectors to shorten/extend the selection.

I can't do it either. If you text yourself or someone texts you a clickable link and I long tap on it I get 7 options but none are to cut, copy, paste... if I just short tap it it asks if I want to open it in a browser. I wish I was able to copy or cut the link from with in the email so I can paste that link in a text to someone else.
