How do I expand the blue highlighted text in UIWeb

Question

After tap and hold and release, text is highlighted in UIWebView. The user can expand the text by dragging the dots, but is there a way I can automatically do it in code? For example, the user selects "Abraham" and I expand it to be "Abraham Lincoln".

Answer 1

No. That feature of the UIWebView cannot be modified using Apple-approved public APIs. This also applies to the magnifying glass.
