Is copying text from a picture just a pixel thing? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I recently switched from a pixel 6 to a fairphone 5. There was stuff like a smart screenshot (which worked half the time) and the ability to select text most of the time. The fairphone doesnt have that, and i wonder if its a first party google feature, or if theres a different rom i should use.

You can use Google Lens or Circle To Search to select text on other Smartphones.

You can use this app to trigger circle to search: https://github.com/parallelcc/MiCTS

    No, it's a Google Lens (or similar tool) thing. The Pixel just has Lens by default.

    Nope. It's on galaxies too. If anything universal select all was a galaxy thing especially with the S pen. You just have to snap a screenshot or photo and/or use the select tool from like ages ago.
