Hi jemapple,


It sounds like you're not able to copy and paste on your iPhone. We're glad you've joined us in Apple Support Communities. Let's see if this helps.


If you can't copy/paste between apps on your iPhone, let's restart and check your iPhone for updates. Both restarts and updates resolve issues both big and small. 


If you are using multiple devices with your iPhone, such as a Mac and you can't copy/paste between the two devices with Universal Clipboard, then double-check you're following the steps as shown in Copy and paste between devices from your Mac. If the issue continues, make sure you meet the System requirements for Continuity on Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch


If the issue remains after following those steps, let us know which steps you had a chance to try from above and if you're copy/pasting only on your iPhone or between devices. 


We hope that helps with your question and take care!
