You can also move the text, and other files in the same way. It depends on you whether you want to move single or multiple files. Keep in mind that in previous versions, drag and drop only work within a single app. However, this updated drag and drop helps you to copy data among multiple apps promptly. All the selected files move together to the destination app. Keep in mind that every time you use drag and drop, your device will make a copy of those files rather than transferring files from one location to other.

If you face any issues to use this functionality, check iOS version on your device. It is necessary that your device is updated to iOS 15 to use this updated drag and drop feature.
