How to use copy and paste on Android

How do I copy and paste on Android?

If you think about which device you type the most on in a day, it's likely your phone, and that's fine. But sometimes typing on a phone can be a bit of a pain in the keister and if you've typed out a long tirade of a text and want to share it with someone else, typing it out all over again sucks.

Like on a computer, you can just copy and paste text on your Android phone or tablet. It's easy peasy and here's how to do it!

Note: This is generally how you copy and paste in Android versions Lollipop to Nougat. Some phones may have slightly different implementations.
