Having never used an Android, is manipulating text as bad as it is on iOS?

  It depends on your keyboard, but it's usually a better. The main bit would be the arrow keys, which are a lot better than swiping around. Otherwise firefox has better text selection IMHO, but it has other downsides that Chrome doesn't.

  It's awful. (At least with stock on the phones I've used)

  Text manipulation on all phones after blackberry has just been awful.

  One thing I greatly appreciate on Android is when selecting text of an actual email address (i.e. with long press), it automatically expands to capture the whole email address and gives me relevant email options straight away. On iOS you have to manually move the left and right pins which is its own little mini-game experience. Try it here: someonesemail@notyahoo.com Edit: This appears to be a Chrome thing.

    Yes, this is an awesome feature on Android! > Android Oreo came with a new "smart text selection" feature that uses AI code to make smart decisions about selecting text such as addresses and phone numbers.
