PS4: copy/paste text in messages

PS4: copy/paste text in messages - Brown Paper on White Surface

The PS3 allowed the ability to copy/paste text when composing or replying to messages.

Where is this function on the PS4?



Best Answer

The PS3 version for a copy and paste was a lot more simpler to do. Because all you had to do was hold down the x button and slide it over the word that you were trying to copy in the internet browser and then notification come up asking you " Copy or paste". But for the PS4 version for some reason they have changed that functions, that you have to type in the word that you see in the internet browser by pressing triangle on your control pad to bring up the keyboard then going down to the three dots on below the spacebar and select that to copy the word that you have manually type in to copy which is redundant in my opinion.
