iOS Mail - "Paste Without Formatting"

iOS Mail badly needs a "Paste Without Formatting" feature.


Currently, Mail lacks any convenient way to get pasted text into the default format. To get it to match, a user has to drill down into the formatting features and manually set them. I don't even know what manual settings to choose to prevent the pasted text from looking weird.


A general point: I don't know if I'm typical, but 99% of the time I wanted pasted text to match the formatting of any text I'm editing, whether email, word processing document, blog, or social media post. But with very few exceptions, I have to work against the UI to get this to happen. For whatever reason, the product management world seems to believe users want to paste with formatting most of the time. It seems to me that in most cases in most apps "Paste Without Formatting" would be the better default, and that "Paste With Formatting" should be the manually chosen option. Am I wrong?
