Hi Marías,
Sorry for the delay in response.
With the new update, we have changed the gesture for highlighting text from drag to long press-and-drag.
Here are the steps to highlight a text:
- Tap on the commenting tools button to get to the commenting mode.
- Tap on the highlight button.
- Long press on the beginning of the text you want to highlight until a magnifying glass appears
- Drag the sentence to highlight the rest of your text.
Alternatively, if you do not have the commenting mode active, you can also long press on a word, and commenting options will appear for you, including highlight.
As you have mentioned above, you uninstalled and re-installed the application.
Uninstalling application on an iOS device removes all the files saved to Local.
Please always make sure that you back up your files/ folders before uninstalling the application.
You may refer to the steps mentioned in the following link to backup your files:

- Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
Hope that the information helps.
Let us know if you still experience any issue or need any help.
Regards,
Meenakshi
