The phone number in the screenshot is some lowlife spam company.

It seems like if a call comes with some form of called ID (in this case, "WIRELESS CALLER"), then you can copy that name, but you can't select and copy the phone number. Am I missing an easy way to do this? The only way I see how is that I first have to save it as a contact and then open the contact details and copy the number from there

Long press on the number May yield the option to copy. It does for me.

This only works for me if there is no caller ID name associated with the call. In this case, the number appears much larger, in the same location that you see "WIRELESS CALLER" in the screenshot. In the case of my screenshot, I can long press on "WIRELESS CALLER" and copy that text, but I can't copy the phone number. Are you seeing the same thing?

Touch message, then select and copy the number directly from the send to

You can screenshot, click the screenshot, copy the text then delete the screenshot

Thanks, that's a good workaround

I can literally long press on THIS screenshot and it does it

Press and hold on the number and it will show a dialog to copy.

That doesn't work in this case. It only works if there's no caller ID name/title

Yeah this is a good workaround. It’s surprising the how well it works. Usually even if you snap a pic of a crappy looking sign with a weird font it will work.

You can always take a screenshot of the number and then crop it so you can copy it using the photo kethod

Method

Long pressing the screenshot gives me a screen to copy or call or whatever. I can also easily just select and copy the phone number text. This is too funny.

I always tell it to make a new contact, copy the number and cancel making a new contact.

Hit create new contact, then you will be able to copy the number and cancel creating the contact …

This isn’t true at all, not sure where you pulled that from. Live Text works from the Xr / Xs and up.

How would I know? Probably, considering this is a notch phone and there’s only one model that doesn’t support live text

You can edit comments

Type the number in a note & copy it.

This is an iPhone 13 Pro

I forgot about that feature. Thanks!

It's super annoying. Screenshot option works and "fake" creating a new contact too.

I migrated to an iPhone with the launch on the 12 mini.

Love everything about it except using it as a phone.

What iPhone do live text work on?

I am able to copy the text after saving your image. Are you also able to click the same place I did in the contact and copy the number? I did a long press.

Copy text from screen shot

Damn I can’t believe such a basic option is missing

Any iPhone and iPad with an A12 processor or newer..

In history list, press i on right and the above pic you posted shows up..

Then press and hold on the phone number and menu with copy (the number it is) will show up..

And by the way.. the number you posted seems to go to James D Dietter, ~36y from 9 Overlook Dr in Danbury and working at Realtor.com..

Ideally you should be able to long press on the number to copy. Worst case: Take a screenshot and then copy it from the text.

I long press and copy comes up whether there’s caller ID or not.

You can't even edit a phone number that's pasted into the dialer. If you want to remove a number or add a number. You can't.

Crazy how basic features like this are missing.

Call me old school. Paper and pencil.

We’ll I have no business with him, so he's a spammer.

BTW, your solution doesn't work. Your method would work if there was no caller ID info present. (In this case, the caller ID identifies the caller as "WIRELESS CALLER ")

Sure it works from the text recognition feature of the screenshot, but not from within the phone app itself

I'd like to see a screen recording of this. I can only long press "WIRELESS CALLER". Long pressing on the phone number doesn't do anything
