Selecting Text in Messages.app
A new “Select” option in the Messages app on iOS 26 lets you select and copy a portion of text within a message bubble in a conversation.
On earlier iOS versions, you can only copy an entire message bubble.
Finally. And how about selecting multiple bubbles at once?
My other pet peeve is that on macOS you can’t start a selection by clicking in the whitespace between the bubbles.

This is exactly the kind of thing I wish they would spend time on.
I wonder how many engineering hours are being wasted tweaking Liquid Glass right now.
Meanwhile there are countless little things we do every day they could be making better and more refined.
Truly, we live in an age of wonders.
