Hi guys. Everytime when I select a text, it always shows me these options:

How can I deactivate them so I can only have cut, copy and paste?

Is there any way? Thanks!
 
I don't think there's a way to turn that off. Testing in the Notes app, I tried removing all dictionaries and that didn't work. Also turned off all keyboard options, and that had no effect either.

3rd party keyboard installed? For the life of me, can't recall ever seeing the Format option for selected text with stock keyboard.

Or using some 3rd party app in general? For example, Office on iPad will give different options when in their app.

I could see Format just using the US English keyboard in Notes.

The format option was there in iOS 15. I use Notes a lot and don’t have a 3rd party keyboard installed. As to the OP, I don’t think you can remove it. When I select something in Notes, the Cut, copy, Paste are the first and then I have to tap the arrow to the right to get to Format.

Thanks all for the education.

Yeah, my bad. See it in Notes and in the reply box on the forum. And makes sense: won't see it on read-only text.

So, ditto, nothing can be done about it, no options for that under keyboards settings.
 
It does show copy/cut/paste as default. Did you just scroll to the next "page" to complain about something, or what's going on here? 🤔
