Request to Restore Text Selection Feature in iOS App Log Pages

[+Knight_404]

I sincerely appreciate Geocahing teams continuous efforts to improve the Geocaching app. However, after the recent iOS app update (version: [9.73.0), I noticed that the text selection functionality within log entries has been disabled. This change has significantly impacted my user experience, and I kindly request your team to reconsider restoring this feature.

Why is this important?
Previously, the ability to select and copy text from logs was essential for two key scenarios:

1. Translation Needs: As a non-native English speaker, I frequently copy log text into translation tools to fully understand the content.

2. Link Accessibility: Many logs contain helpful links (e.g., historical references, additional clues). Without copy-paste capability, manually typing URLs is error-prone and time-consuming.

While this may seem like a minor feature, text selection greatly enhances accessibility for international users and those interacting with complex log information. I respectfully suggest either:

• Re-enabling text selection by default in log entries, or

• Adding a toggle option in Settings > Accessibility to allow text copying.

 

 

The log page where text cannot be selected/copied (long-press on text does not trigger selection).

 

 

In previous versions, you could select text to translate or copy
