This sounds terrible! Who wants to be bothered by apps regularly asking permissions to peek at or use the clipboard contents? Hope there's a universal setting to simply block this entirely, that is, to block access AND block any app asking for permission. Same should apply to the tracking biz.
It sounds, though, as if it could be as bad as Apple's telling you — after you copy and paste something — which app it's come from — and blocking buttons and lingering on the screen. I realize that iOS 15 did away with that notification, but for devices on the earlier iOS, it's still an issue.
Oh come on! Finally. Most apps have no reason to access the clipboard and I'd like to block all of them.
I agree. All apps should be blocked — only if the user MANUALLY does a copy and paste should any app have access to the clipboard.
There are a couple of other steps Apple could make to improve privacy:
1) Give us quick access to clear all cookies or clear history and all cookies. Could be a setting in Control Center, an icon on the deck, etc.
2) A timer that would automatically clear any or all cookies at user set intervals.
Cookie on the Mac — a Safari extension — does this brilliantly. Apple should buy the app and integrate it into Safari.
3) Block all apps from embedding tracking cookies, Facebook cookies, Google advert and tracking cookies, etc.
If you ever look at Apple's Privacy Report, you'll be shocked by all the privacy invasions and tracking going on.
