The current version of WhatsApp is clearly trying to make it difficult to leave the ecosystem. You can see that when you want to copy text in Android. If you copy it you can only send it to other WhatsApp users. In order to copy it somewhere else you need to use the share feature. In Telegram and others you can copy paste easily into other apps.

I just tried this on my Android phone (I have latest version of WhatsApp), and it allows me to copy text and paste it anywhere.
