To select multiple texts on Android, first, open any app that allows text selection, like a note-taking app or your email. Tap and hold on a word in the text you want to start from; you'll see two blue markers appear. Drag these markers to adjust your selection to cover the desired text. Some apps may also offer a 'Select all' option in the context menu that appears, allowing you to easily choose all the text within a document or a field with a single tap.
