New ios 14on iPhone X - Cannot copy paste easily from one app to the other

Hi,

I sell yarn and frequently have to copya scanned CAnada Post code from my CAnada Post app and paste the code into my seller app. This used to be so easy. Then I installed ios 14. Now, I have to struggle and fight with my iphone to paste. It always offer to copy, select and select all and I have to fiddle and fiddle and fail and fail until by some miracle, without doing anything differently, it finally offers to paste.

What happened with ios install 14 that changed this? I can't use it this way. What used to take 2 seconds, now takes me over 5 minutes of fiddling and getting frustrated.

Is there a new trick?

Feeling very disappointed.... Please help.

Good afternoon KelleyAnnLahey,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

It sounds like you are trying to scan a Canadian postal code from your Canada Post app into a different field in your Seller's app.

What app are you using to sell your yarn?

Would it be possible to have a list or table of postal codes in a Pages or Notes or Numbers versus copying data between these two apps?

That may resolve the issue of formatting content between fields in two different apps.

It's a little easier to do sometimes with a computer because you have the option to remove formatting when pasting by using the keyboard shortcut Cmd+Option+Shift+V.

Take care.
