Copy and Paste text to and from G-Mail

Probably more of a Gmail app issue, but for the past year or so I randomly have trouble copying and pasting text into or from a g-mail draft message. Text never gets saved to the clipboard. Example, type a long note, select the text, cut and go to paste into another app. Doesn't work (sometimes). Nothing on clipboard. Go back to Gmail and text is gone, cannot paste it back in place. Anyone else experiencing this? Didn't see much after searching.

Hello ILS19R,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! It looks like you're having some issues with draft emails with the Gmail app on your iPhone, and we'd like to help.

Are you using iOS 13.5.1? If not you'll want to update the iOS first. Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Next, verify that the Gmail app is up to date. Here's how to manually check for updates: Update apps or use automatic downloads

Restart your iPhone after updating the apps, and see if the issue happens again.

If it does, try using the Gmail website to see if the issue happens there also. Then contact the app developer and let them know what's happening. How to contact an app developer

We found this Gmail Help page, which may get you started.

Take care!
