I use unrooted Android 6.0 on LG4.

I don't see any "people &amp; options" in the menu:

You can copy the phone number without selecting "Create a new contact". I don't know if there is a faster way but here is how to do it:


On the default messaging app, open the text message (SMS) whose phone number you want to copy.
Click the 3-dot, then "People &amp; options".
Long press the phone number. A message "Copy to clipboard?" will appear, click on "Copy".
