Your version is clear and conveys the point effectively. Here’s a slightly refined version that keeps the same intent but adjusts a few phrases for clarity and impact:
The current text selection process in the ChatGPT iOS app is cumbersome. When trying to copy a specific word or phrase, users are presented with a choice: copy the entire output or select specific text. Opting for the latter triggers a new window where the entire text is highlighted again, forcing users to deselect and reselect the desired text. This process is inefficient and not aligned with typical iOS behavior.
Suggestion: Allow users to directly highlight and copy specific words or phrases without navigating to a new window or dealing with default full-text selection. The menu with options to handle the entire output could be moved to a “•••” button. This change would greatly improve the user experience by aligning with standard iOS text selection mechanics.
Please consider prioritizing this for a smoother and more intuitive UX.
This version keeps your key points intact while tightening up the language for readability.*—
you see what I mean? There is too much effort to copy just a phrase.
