Feature description

Currently, to copy part of a message, the process is: Select Message → Three dot Menu→ Select Text

This is not very user-friendly.

A better approach could be:

  • First long press to select the whole message.

  • Then long press again to enter partial text selection (As In Telegram).

I belive this would make copying text much easier and more intuitive for users.
