Apple to Block Mac Apps From Secretly Accessing Your Clipboard

[maxoakland]

Just checked this out with the terminal command

ITS NOT A BIG DEAL AT ALL!​

If you press Command + V or press Paste in the context menu, YOU WILL NOT SEE ANY POPUP AT ALL!
It's only the first time an app requests to press Command + V for you.

In summary, its just this WHEN AN APP PASTES FOR YOU, NOT WHEN YOU PRESS COMMAND V:

And I dont remember seeing this iOS popup since like 2 years ago, this will also show if an app tries pasting for you:
View attachment 2510271

Unfortunately, that's not really accurate. It's glitchy on iOS and some applications it just never stops asking

Long overdue. Apps have no business snooping clipboard.

Its amazing what the M4 is capable of!

I like this on iOS so sure looks like a good feature to me.

But

so the next version of macOS will continue to be called Sequoia??? That's a leak that even Gurman didn't mention

He just forgot to insert “High“ … 😊

I love so much that Apple took the piss out of MS for this but now they're way more egregious about their permissions.

I must've missed the memo when the clipboard was renamed to pasteboard

Never come across the macOS CLI tools pbcopy & pbpaste?
