The iOS copy/paste/other actions menu is so unintuitive. 4 taps to share?

Text selection and editing on iOS is broken in general. Trying to replace just a part of a URL in the Safari address bar with the clipboard contents is nearly impossible, even if you know that long pressing space moves the cursor.
As an iPhone user, I really don't understand Apple sometimes. I want to love their work, then dumb things like this happen. There's other pet peeves I have, but overall, I don't see myself ever going back to Android. You can probably say the same of any other software company.
I had some feedback, then I read this. Yep, it’s neat!

Hey. If you want to take it further, add the feature no one asked for. That’s the name of the game.

Yes, unfortunately. You can also use the swipe gesture over the pop-up, even though the overall system is still a bit tricky.
