Ive noticed a recent change in certain apps like messenger fb etc when i highlight text the context nenu box appears but the action choices ie copy cut etc have changed. I now get as default translate and microsoft 365, one i will use infreqiently the other one never. The more useful cut, copy etc have to now be selected in the drop down menu. Is there a way these choices can be reordered ..? I note on this page the context box remainns unchanged. 

Yet another example of a backwards 'improvement' making stuff harder and slower to do...

I have the same issue. My first three options are Translate, Dictionary, Translate. All absolutely useless.

I had the same. Microsoft 365 Note and Bing Search, have to click again to find Copy. Uninstalled Bing (never use(d) it. Still there. Only when I uninstalled 365 did it revert to what I wanted. Has Samsung allowed Microsoft to make these changes? Is this a Samsung UI issue or is it common across android phones now? Either way it's a step too far.

Same issue here.. it does not make sense as 99% of the time I highlight to copy the text. 

If someone has found a workaround let me know..

I see you posted on 4th September. That's about when mine changed too.

The copy and paste function must be the most used part of the highlighting with a drop down menu. 

Can someone from Samsung please look at this issue ... it's flipping annoying!

Samsung, a reaction please?

How to get direct access to copy/cut/paste again? I don't need dictionary and translate, and that should be secondary or configurable.

Also having this problem. Default options when I select text are Dictionary and Microsoft 356 Note. I have never used either of these options. Samsung, please fix this. Imagine Apple letting some sh*t third party app take over their iPhone UI; would never happen.
