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 just got iOS 14 and this is driving me absolutely ducking insane. Seriously I will buy android next time if there is no way to turn this off. What the actual **** was Apple thinking? It serves zero purpose and is permanently in the way. Who asked for this nonsense? Like literally which users asked for this?

If Apple did some intense inside investigations I’m willing to bet the engineers who added this pathetic feature used to work for Android and came to Apple to disrupt and do pathetic things to have people switch back to Android. After they leave Apple, they'll head back to Android. With HR experience, I’ve witnessed this and big developers need to take caution in regards to hiring people from their competitors...in the end, both entities are losers in both business and respect.

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.

Yes, I’ve dealt with other sites that limit how long you can edit your post. However, I’ve never seen one with such a tiny window as Apple. I literally made that post less than 24 hours ago. There is no logical reason to prevent editing of posts. The timestamp clearly shows when changes were made. I’m incredulous at the stupidity of this idea.

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.

All these banners are driving me crazy! I have troubles navigating the phone when banners telling me what I already know (you use your headset with Hulu, you pasted from YouTube to messages....) pops up and takes up screen space. I will be switching to Android if this is not fixed soon.

Thank you for the information, but if that's Apple's excuse, it's patently absurd.


Okay, so SOME apps were silently reading the clipboard. Does this annoying new notification somehow prevent that from happening?


If it does, then why do I never get a notification of that suspicious clipboard activity? And if it doesn’t, then why do I need a notification of something I just copied and pasted MYSELF?


So ultimately, this notification is 100% pointless. It has no logical or functional reason to exist.

This is extremely annoying, it happens dozens of times a day and is a huge productivity killer. I’m not even sure what issue this solves... every single time I’ve seen the notification, it’s because I’m the one who just copied something.... there also seems to be multiple notifications and they’re always exactly where I need to click on chrome/safari.

Apple get off your *** and fix this problem. This message thread goes back to at least September. I am watching my fire fox browser “fire fox paste it from notes” message pop up every four seconds. How many months does it take you to fix this bug????? Stop giving people “features“ that they don't ask for, it make it possible to turn the idiot messages off.
