Proper Text Highlighting on Mobile

On iOS, when you long press a message you are met with options for User Settings, Message, Mention, Copy Text, Copy ID, and Report. I would also add a select button, that highlights the text in the message so users are able to individually select the text they want to select, not the entire message. As a Moderator I often have to paste things from one person to another, and may have to tweak it before it reaches its next place, and when I use my iPad, I have to select the entirety of the message, format it, and if it has custom formatting it takes even longer.
