If I am correct, we used to be able to select text and paste a URL to get a markdown hyperlink, just like on desktop. Did this break recently? I’m on iOS, Safari.

Can you post more details and maybe a pic to help make things clearer. By hyper link do you mean something like this? Link to your Op Post In the composer click on this [Link to your Op Post (https://paste.url/into_selection on- mobile/326531?u=heliosurge) In the composer click on this. (Captioned by AI)] To create a hyper link. Or posting link say in the topic title?

“Paste URL into selection” works exactly how you read it: [image] U select some text and paste a URL into that selection :slight_smile: This works on desktop just fine, but it broke recently on mobile.

Thank you. I wasn’t aware of that method to create one. Typically have been making them the more manual way. Lol

Hmm, currently I can’t repro this myself either.. maybe it was a bug in Safari? I opened the topic right after I wasn’t able to do it here on Meta yesterday.
