How to Copy a WhatsApp Message

Using Android

Open WhatsApp on your Android. The WhatsApp icon looks like a white telephone in a green speech bubble. You can find it on your Apps tray.

Tap the chat you want to copy a message from. Scroll down your Chats list, and tap the conversation you want to open. If WhatsApp opens up to a chat conversation, tap the Android 7 Arrow Back button on the top-left to go back to your Chats list.

Tap and hold the message you want to copy. This will highlight the message in blue, and show your options on a toolbar at the top of your screen.

Tap the Copy icon on the toolbar at the top. This icon looks like a square in front of another square next to the white Android 7 Delete icon near the upper-right corner. It will copy the selected chat message to your Android's clipboard. You can now paste the copied message to another chat or any other text field on your phone. To paste the copied message, tap and hold any text field, and select PASTE on the pop-up menu.
