alt Hacker NewsDid iOS ever get OCR based copy/paste?
Pixels have had it for years but I think it's in every android phone now; from the app switcher you can press and hold and the system will OCR the text and allow you to copy it.
Because so many things _still_ don't make that easy to do on mobile.

I don't think iOS has it from the app switcher, but pretty easy to take a screenshot and immediately select from it. (Or selecting from older screenshots or photos you open.)

It’s a system wide iOS feature and has been for a few years now
