It looks like Twitter is finally adding the ability to select text within tweets to the Android version of its app to make it as user-friendly as its IOS counterpart.
This upcoming feature was noted in a tweet posted on Saturday by leaker and hidden feature detective, Jane Manchun Wong.
She said the Android version of Twitter has been lacking in terms of easy text selection, but in the past, users have found a way to bypass this issue using Overview Selection (a useful feature that lets you select text from any screen to copy and paste).

However, Mishaal Rahman, a podcaster and Android expert said the feature is only accessible on a small preference phone.
He said that with the upcoming feature on Twitter, users can now select and copy text from the Android version of its app and not figure some way out to make it a paid feature, as the company is considering with other tools.
He also added that it is strange that it took so long to add, but good that it might be on the way and we just have to wait to see when it will be released.
Overview text/image selection isn't available on all Android devices. Apart from Google Pixels I don't know if any other devices have it. (Google's is proprietary but other OEMs may have made their own.)
