how to select Text within Apps???

[g3 step up]

I am new to android and just moved from IOS to lg g3.
It seems that this phone does not allow to select Within application text.like sports center or any application which has text.
It only works for chrome/ whatsaapp/ or Google apparently.

Can someone help me with this issue?

Welcome to Android Central! On my Nexus 5, within the MLB app (as an example), I can select text by long-pressing until the brackets appear to select the text to copy. Does that work for you?

You could always pull down the notification bar and use the Q slide and then hit the messaging app
