Allow paste popup 🤬

[BigBlur]

I’m seeing this happen very often, including when pasting links into text messages. Absolutely ridiculous and idiotic choice by Apple to have this appear this often, with no way to disable it.

And which phone and iOS version are you using?

Ironically, I haven‘t encountered this pop up once since updating to iOS 16.

And which phone and iOS version are you using?

14 Pro 16.0.1

Probably they should add option “always allow”. If there’s not such option, I’d rather be asked every time, which is the current behaviour.

Before I upgraded my phone to the 14 my 12 on iOS 16 did not have this issue.

Only happens on my 14 with iOS 16.0.1

I am on 16.1 beta, and it’s so annoying. Every single copy and paste.

I have an iPhone 11 on 16.1 beta, and i get the pop up on every copy & paste. On my iPhone 12 I have the regular 16 upgraded from 15.7, and I have never got the pop up once. I am thinking of wiping the 12 and installing a fresh copy of iOS 16 to see if I start getting the pop up. Has anyone tried this?

You will get the pop up. It’s baked into the software, not the device

Not sure it’s on iOS 16 but it’s certainly on 16.0.1

It’s a bug

Nice. No need for me to mess with a reinstall then. Thanks for the update 👍🏽

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.

Yeah, sorry, I thought it was a one-off, but I guess I hadn’t pasted more than once in the same app.

I see it now, and yes, it’s incredibly annoying.

I wouldn’t mind once per app, like I said, but this is no good.

I’m using 16.1, so I hope the next version is released soon!

Also noticed that copy and paste across iOS devices no longer works. It tries to paste and nothing gets pasted.

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.

Wrong. EVERY time I paste an address into the Google Maps app I get the pop up.
