Option for user to turn off notification of clipboard (one app pasted from another app)

Hi, Apple team, my new iPad Pro 2 has just updated to iOS 14, I found you added a new feature that displays “one app pasted from another app”, which is probably the new privacy transparency you are striving for, however this to me seems more annoying than being useful. I am a focused and productive person, when I am working or learning in front of my iPad I like to concentrate on what I am doing instead of frequently disturbed by this notification which has nothing to do with the stuffs I am working on. Can you please give the user an option to turn this clipboard notification off? Thanks.

Yes this has nothing to do with Universal Clipboard, it's a "privacy" feature added by apple in iOS 14. Instead of doing something sensible like allowing you to turn on or off clipboard access for each app in settings, Apple have decided to add a useless notification to the top of the screen which permanently gets in your way, thus "solving" the issue of privacy.

Hello michael_ma1981,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


We understand from your post that when copying content you are given a notification that text has been copied. Are you using the Universal Clipboard to copy content from one device to another? If you are not, then maybe disabling Continuity for the Universal Clipboard would help.

I do not need a bothersome message obstructing my sight that tells me something pasted from something else. Get rid of this or give us the option to turn it off! Jeezus, how does Apple manage to take a step back with every updates and every new product?! I NEED to see the search bar. I DO NOT need to see the same message over and over and over telling me that something was copied or pasted!! Yeah!! I already knew because I’m the one doing it!

This is horrible nonsense Apple has introduced to drive users crazy. One more reason to switch to Android. There are many issues like this with iOS 14. If you just bought a new iPhone 12, you don’t have the option to downgrade to previous operating system that does not have this issue. Apple’s iOS still can’t do things that the Palm OS could do on their Treo phones in 2008. It’s so frustrating.
