WhatsApp copies text and UI symbols instead of selecting them

I have a Realme C75 android phone, Whenever i Press down on an image, message or UI element It makes a Copy of said thing instead of selecting it and presenting me the different options like it's supposed too. Like i go and Press down on the button to make an audio and instead It selects the weird lock thing that appears behind the microphone icon, cancelling the audio. Or when i Press down on a message It copies the text on this White Square i can drag around the screen but can't Copy to My clipboard and It dissapears if i take My finger off the screen. If i Press down right on the edges It still works 50% of the time but it's still really annoying. Can somebody tell me how to solve this please?
