Question

I'm facing the issue with copying the text from TextView in react-native, When long press on TextView the selection view is not appears in iOS.

I've found the some solution using the stack to use <TextInput/> but using this solution it's not working in android platform.

I've 3 TextView in same screen and I want to selected the custom text range from all text view and copy the selected content. Community please guide me on this situation.

You should just be able to use the react native 'Text' component. It requires setting the selectable prop on that component to true. Example:

import { Text } from 'react-native'

const TextCopyableComponent = () => {
  return (
    <Text selectable={true}>Selectable Text</Text>
    );
}

Here is the link to the docs on this https://reactnative.dev/docs/text#selectable
