Can’t highlight pdf on iOS

Tapping text or trying to select text on a PDF on my phone app only scrolls the page or zooms in or out. I can tap existing highlights and change their colour or notes, but I can’t add highlights or notes. Pro account on iPhone. App is up to date.

I also tested this on my iPad app. I’ve tried double tapping, long holds, using my Apple Pencil in both reader view and pdf view. I’m stumped as this is said to work on mobile devices.
