Delete Blue Box Around Highlighted Copy IPad

  • 0

How do you delete the blue highlighted boxes that pop up constantly around words, phrases and parenthesis? It is driving me crazy and will have no use for it in the future. Please anyone help with simple directions since I am a one month newbie and grandma to IPad.

Thank you to all in advance.

  1. There is no known setting in the iOS to disable the copy-paste function.

    However, once you get used to it, you manage to not trigger the blue selection box so often. It’s in the way you scroll or touch the screen.
    Anyway, even when the blue box mode is triggered, tapping anywhere else closes it

  2. Just try using more of a swiping motion instead of a slide so at the end of the swipe your fingerr comes off the screen.
