Steps
- 1To begin, turn the phone on by pressing the Power button located on top of the phone.

Advertisement - 3To unlock the phone, swipe the screen upwards.
- 4It is one of these icons that we now need to activate in order to open Applications folder.Once the phone has been unlocked, we will see the home screen, and at the bottom we will see several icons.
- 5It is a grid of white dots. Press down on this icon, and it will open our "Apps" folder.We need the icon at the bottom of the home screen and in the middle.
- 6There is the Google Chrome icon, which is a circle made up of several different colors. Underneath, it says the word "Chrome". This icon may be located anywhere in the "Apps" folder.In this folder we need to find the Google "Chrome" application.
- 7We now want to demonstrate how to select text. To do that, we must first open a website. In this example, we already have one open and ready to use.Once it has been found, press down on the Google Chrome icon to enter the application.
- 8Find an article with text. Now, we can demonstrate how to select text. There are two ways to do this. We can either select a part of the text, or we can select all of the text on the page.To open a website, use the search bar at the top of the screen.
- 9Start by pressing down on the screen in the area where the text is we want to select.
- 10That word is now highlighted in blue. Just below the word are two blue circles on each side.Now if we hold down, we can see that it selects the word underneath where our finger was.
- 11We can drag it wherever we want.Press down on one of these blue circles, hold down, and drag to make the highlighted area bigger.
- 12Use both of the blue circles to select the exact area we want.We can use both of the blue circles, with the left one highlighting any text before the original highlighted word, and the right one highlighting text after the word.
- 13In this demonstration, we have selected the entire paragraph.
- 14The next option is to select all of the text.To get rid of the highlight, just press anywhere on the screen off of the highlighted area.
- 15We can see one word is highlighted again.Press down on the screen again and hold down.
- 16It is the first icon on the right side in the white bar, and it is a small square surrounded by dots that make another square.Now we are going to press on an icon at the top of the screen.
- 17Scroll up or down on the page to see the entire page and note that everything has been selected. It is highlighted in blue and is now ready to use any way that is needed.When we press down on that icon, we will see that the entire webpage is highlighted.
