Why can't I copy or forward a text message today?

[Android Central Question]

My S8 Galaxy phone was updated overnight and now I can no longer copy (and paste elsewhere) or forward text messages! I used those features all the time. I was able to press and hold a previously sent or received message bubble and another window would open with options to copy (and paste later) or to forward it (with another box opening to ask me where I wanted to forward it to). Is this feature gone for good??? Please bring back asap!!!
