Description

⚠️ Before posting ⚠️
  • This is a bug, not a question or an enhancement.
  • I've searched for similar issues and didn't find a duplicate.
  • I've written a clear and descriptive title for this issue, not just "Bug" or "Crash".
  • I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Steps to reproduce
  1. Open the Nextcloud Android app
  2. Tap on Assistant at the bottom of the app
  3. Tap on Chat
  4. Give the chat-bot a prompt and wait for a response
  5. Tap or long-tap on either the prompt or response
Expected behaviour

Long-tap on user prompts and chat-bot generated responses should bring up a context menu to copy or share the text.

Tapping on the user prompt or the generated response could present buttons similar to the Web UI, where user prompts can be copied or deleted, and chat-bot generated responses can be copied, regenerated, or deleted. Below is a screenshot of the WebUI on PC:
