hi I downloaded iOS 14.0 to my iphone Since this download , copy paste isn’t working on the phone app or message app . I need to be able to copy and paste phone numbers because if it’s a strange number I like to copy and paste to google so I can check out the number before calling it back or blocking it .
this issue is very inconvenient. Please can anyone advise me how to get it working again ?
iPhone XR, iOS 14
I stumbled upon a bypass to paste a number for now until apple fixes the issue in there update.
to paste a copied number
press any digit on the keypad and then hit backspace, this will allow you to paste the copied number.
hope this help you.
Paste option itself is not showing up at all on the key pad. It is terribly annoying. This needs an immediate fix. There's no workaround as well to live with. One of the answers in this thread with a temporary workaround is also not working in 14.3.
Chris_D13 How can you describe the loss of an important feature as being a "change that we should enjoy". It's a software bug that should have been captured at iOS 14 development, testing or Beta phases. So amateur that another bug gets past Apple's software "quality control". And you're just adding insult to injury by suggesting that consumers "should enjoy" this change! It's now March 2021 and I'm on iOS 14.4, and I still cannot consistently copy/paste like I used to in all previous iOS versions, from emails, SMS, contacts, WhatsApp, etc. Totally screwed again. Don't ask consumers to spend their time constantly send feedback - just test the described bug and you'll see it's an error!

Agreed with all you have said. This is a basic utility and should have been fixed within first month of the issue. Instead, 6 months later and no fix. I can copy the number and paste in Note but not in phone where it is needed. It almost appears as this is by design by Apple.
Copy Paste works only hit and miss now after the 14.0 and 14.0.1 updates, not just “phone numbers”. In every aspect, copy/paste of anything is a problem.
I completely agree!!!
I cannot copy and paste on my IPhone 11 Pro, since the latest update of 14.1. Please help!
I cannot copy and paste on my IPhone 11 a phone number to call
That approach does not work on an iPhone 12 Mini or for that matter an old 5 SE both on 14.1. Apple please don't make things harder to do.
Thanks, that was helpful. It is definitely not easy to find as so non-intuitive. Come on Apple, provide a proper fix.
I can’t copy paste a 10 digit number into my iphone 11 key pad.
any suggestion???
Just got an iPhone 12 pro and I can’t copy/ paste anything. So annoying, debating returning the phone. It sounds like this glitch had been around for awhile, why aren’t they fixing it?
BEST reply!!
I wish people read all replies and try before posting questions or complaints.
Thank you very much!!!
Hi Guys ,

@Maribelle 12...absolutely LMAO!!!
@amjad215, you are kidding right? So you will be reaching out with dollars in hand yourself, when you read something here that can help you, I presume? 🤦♀️
