Hello!

iOS 9 has removed one of my favourite features, on the iPhone it was a little cumbersome to select data. This has been fixed on the iPad with the trackpad keyboard but on the iPhone you used to be able to press down with two fingers on any texts and it would select all or the paragraph.

Does anyone know why this was removed and if it will come back? Maybe it's been replaced with another shortcut which I don't know.. Such a shame because I love this feature.

I recommend submitting feedback or a bug for this
