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.

iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi

I did not see anything so useless, irritating and sloppy since the great invention of the cookie notice present in 100% of the web pages of the planet. Does anyone click on "read more?" or stop visiting a website because it stores cookies? The person who introduces these functions has never surfed the web or used an iPhone for more than 10 minutes. Using iOS is now ****, please get that notice out of there ASAP!!

The cookies notice is required by law to inform people that they are being tracked. Even if we know it, the law requires we be informed before using any websites so that we cannot come back later & say “I didn’t know.” And I often click the “more” link to opt out of my personal info being shared.


This issue w Apple & the clipboard notification has absolutely nothing to do w the cookies notification. There is no law (that I’m aware of) that requires the makers of a phone to inform the owner of the phone of copying & pasting content that the owner themselves has done.


This clipboard notification is unnecessary, useless, distracting & annoying.

I already know that the cookie message is a legal requirement but it could be simply one more option in the menu of the website, such as other legal requirements (data policy, e-commerce returns policy, show tax data, etc.) this would save trillions of clicks every second in the world.


I don't know if Apple's "copied from" notifications are a legal requirement, but just like cookies I'm sure there are less irritating and bothersome ways to solve it.

I don’t believe the OP mentioned between 2 different devises. What we’re discussing is copying & pasting within one device. For example: If we copy text from Facebook & paste it into Twitter, on the same device (iPhone, iPad), there is a popup bubble that appears at the very top of our screen that would say “Twitter pasted from Facebook.” (SEE PHOTO) Since we know where it was from (since we’re doing it), we find it annoying & would like to be able to turn these popups off.


Thank you.

But adding the cookies Y/N option within the menu would not meet the legal requirements of getting permission *before* the visitor uses the website. The permission must be granted beforehand. That’s how the law is written, so it’s not going to change unless the law is rewritten.


However, this popup notice issue isn’t necessary because the user is doing the copying/pasting, so well aware of what’s occurring. For that sole reason, we should be allowed to turn it off. And for the life of me (as others have said), I cannot figure out why Apple felt it was a good idea or even necessary to inform their user of a process they themselves are doing. It’s redundant, to say the least. 🤦🏻‍♀️

My niece recently got YouTube Music, and she said it has an excellent selection . . . she was even able to find special remixes of songs for the Zumba classes she teaches. On her advice, I did the free trial today. In less than an hour, I deleted YouTube Music from my iPhone. 


What a piece of garbage software. Can't alphabetize songs in a playlist? Are you kidding me? This is a BASIC FUNCTION. Heck, Spotify lets me list the songs alphabetically OR in the order they were added, and it's simple to switch back and forth. There is an option to alphabetize playlists, but not to alphabetize the songs WITHIN the playlists? Absurd. 


Also--and this is very annoying--pressing on the iPhone widget takes you DIRECTLY into previously played songs and starts playing automatically. That option would be okay if the widget also gave you the option to simply OPEN YouTube Music to the home page, without music automatically blaring in your face. The Spotify widget allows you to do either. That’s how you treat the customers who pay for your service: you give them choice and convenience. Imagine.


The only reason I considered YouTube music in the first place was the live, remix, and cover versions it offers. But who cares about the songs offered when I’m too annoyed by the app to even listen to them? I’ll stay with Spotify.


YouTube Music is a mess. It's frustrating and poorly designed. It is NOT user-friendly in the slightest. It’s a slap in the face to the customers who actually pay for your service and allow you to exist. Sort out your crap if you actually WANT customers. I’m glad I got this junk off my phone. Good riddance!

Exactly. There is every time sone new feature for giving us one more reason to change to Android. And Apple is not the only one. There is lot of companies who send people to the competitiors headquarters to work and do changes which will eventually cause downhills of those companies. They get double salary while destroying workable solutions by some innocent looking “new” idea. It is shame that they work like that but their own security procedures are so naive that they don’t see it happening all the time.

Ok I did this Thx! 👍🏻


Hello, iPhone has started dropping notification top of the phone when copy paste is used, I don't find A way turn that off, it covers copy paste area every time I paste text, and text is always usually pasted web page top part, and this copy paste message covers whole top screen of the phone, this is waisting time and efforts when seconds is taken out of your life when using iPhone.

Apple can remove this feature or make this controlled by user.
