Please tell me there is a toggle to turn this really, really irritating popup off. I’ve had to action this popup about 10 times in the last minute alone.
Got a tip for us?

Happens when you copy from some apps to others. Can’t work out from what to what but it’s really annoying because it asks the same thing over and over and over.
I think it’s going to ask with every app you try to paste in for the first time, then never again (in that app).
As annoying as it is, it makes sense to me, because there are some apps I don’t want to give access to my clipboard—like TikTok. The request is a reminder that you’re giving an app read privileges for a minor convenience.

Nope. It asks over and over and over and over again. The same apps and the same questions.
Go the photo app and press and hold a thumbnail to copy. Go to mail and create a new email. Paste. You get the popup.
Now…..
Go the photo app and press and hold a thumbnail to copy a DIFFERENT thumbnail. Go to mail and create a new email. Paste. You get the popup.

There isn’t one but there should be a toggle to at least make this a passive notification rather than an active dialog box

You'd think iOS would be able to tell when you manually hit paste and not ask every time.
Imagine if all apps asked permission to use the camera, microphone or location every single time you used them.
I tried this and didn't get the pop up either. I don't disagree with you though. There's this article that is similar, but I can't reproduce that one either.
Apple is too strict with copy and paste in iOS 16
Where’s the “always allow” option?

I do however get the prompt sometimes when opening Snapchat and not initiating a paste command. Snapchat is attempting to do it in the background without me knowing. It seems like that's how it should be...if you initiate the paste command, don't show the prompt. If the app is doing it without your consent, then show the prompt.
I'm using iPhone 13 and iOS 16.0. I haven't found any settings that would cause me to not get the prompt in Mail or Messages. (I don't think there is one.) I wonder why some of are seeing different behaviors... I'm thinking it could be a bug that only presents itself to certain users.
With the pasting of photographs in the video above it needs to be a different photo each time. If you paste the same item multiple times you are only asked once.
What iOS version are you on? I think this has been adjusted. I have just updated to 16.0.1. I don't usually use the stock mail app but I did try to reproduce this per your scenarios, with different thumbnails and it actually never asked me permission to paste at all. It didn't ask in the Spark app either. Also tried with text and it didn't ask.
Assume you mean 16.0.1? And no Beta profiles are installed, correct? That's so strange. And you've done a power cycle? This might require a chat with the Apple folks since we haven't been able to recreate this.
If you are on a Beta version, you might want to send this info via Feedback
iOS 16.0.1. Never used a Beta.
I’m sitting with 2 identical iPhone 14 Pro Max and they both do exactly the same thing.

And another story about the issue… (had to allow the popup to paste the link below 🙄 )
apple.news
iOS 16 would like your permission to paste, and paste again, and also to paste (hey, want to paste?) — 9to5Mac
“Messages would like to paste from Safari,” iOS 16 says. “Do you want to allow this?” Why yes, thanks for asking. As a matter of fact I do. Wait, actually, allow me to take back my thanks. This is a terrible feature!
Also not seeing this on my 13 or XS, both on 16.0. I don’t recall seeing anyone complain about this during the prior betas either. It’s not clear what devices/versions the authors were using in the linked articles, but based on the comments there and this thread, it seems that the common denominator is either iPhone 14/14 Pro and/or iOS 16.0.1/16.1. (16.0.1 is only available for the 14/14 Pro and not the older phones.)
My XS is a spare device. I guess I could install the 16.1 beta to see if the issue starts to present itself if anyone is curious.
