Twitter is finally working on adding a simple yet useful feature to its Android app — the ability to select text in a tweet. As popular app reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong shared in a recent tweet, the company is working on adding text selection to its Android app behind the scenes.
According to the tweet, Twitter could soon add the text selector to the Android app. In case you’re wondering, the feature has been available on Twitter’s iOS app for some time now. As you can see below, long-pressing the text will soon show you the options to copy the selected text, share the text, or select all the text in the tweet.

At the time of writing this article, the aforesaid text selection feature is not live on the stable version of Twitter’s Android app. Now that the feature has been spotted in the wild, we expect the company to add it to the app in a future update, possibly over the coming weeks.
