welcome to the forums tparry!

unfortunately if your using the official facebook app, your not able to as facebook has disabled the feature to copy and paste (in my app at least as well).

your next best option is to do it through a 3rd party facebook app like seesmic which does work.

hope this helps ya.

HI!!!! Along with what dragonslayer95 said you can alternatively use the web app in your phones browser to copy and paste.

unfortunately you can't even copy/paste, or even any long touch actions through the browser, tried that last night and wouldn't even let me through the facebook from web browser. 3rd party app really is the only way to unless there is another work around that im not aware of.

Hello, Tparry...

Not with the FaceBook for Android application (as stated above). I know it suck, but that's just how it works. Here is an application that can do what you want. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andromo.dev21602.app21095

Thanks for joining the community. Feel free to ask if you should need additional help.

With the original web browser it is possible.
