Reading spoiler text on mobile devices - how?
I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.4 and can't figure out how to read it. Using built-in Safari.

EDIT: Well, you can quote the post when possible, but I'm hoping there's a better method.

Thanks for the idea, but I still can't read spoiler text with it. The selected text isn't legible. Hmm.

It's the same with chrome for android, the only way to see spoilered text is to quote. (or at least the only way my lesser brain has found)

Any modern version of Android should allow you to go into text selection mode by long-pressing. Then just highlight the spoiler. That's how I do it on my Nexus devices... but who knows, various manufacturers may have changed that functionality cause who knows...

For me, highlighting just shows a blank box. It's very irritating on TVTropes. I just copy and paste to the Notepad when using my iPad. Is there an app for that?
