iOS 8.1 : copy and paste still not working normally

Most of the time, copying and pasting between apps give wrong results: when pasting, I get an older version of the clipboard, even after having done 2 factory resets. Does anyone has the same problem? I own an iPad mini first generation.

Hello there,


Thank you for using my keyboard app!

I was developed "Clipboard - Copy History Keyboard Extension". (Too long name...)


It's works fine on your devices? If you have any questions and any suggestions please tell me.


This app will update. (not soon.. maybe a couple weeks later)


- Add some control keys. Enter/Return, Backspace and Space key.

- Improve UI

- Can delete each entries (Maybe)


Thank you! and I'm sorry my English...

I didn't realized you added to your post. I tried using keyboard shortcuts but everytime I tapped p I got press and hold the home and power button etc. flashed on the screen so I turned it off. I don't think the clipboard app caused the problems with your keyboard shortcuts because a number of other people reported having problems with the shotcuts.

Dear Teruaki,


As a programmer, could you explain how it is possible that, since the iOS 8 upgrade, many of us experience this copy/paste problem? Sometimes, when copy/pasting something new, we paste something that has been copied days ago!

I still don't met with this problem. And, My clipboard app is not have special trick to work. It is using iOS function usually.


This issue being from iOS 7, maybe?

I think this issue is a bug of clipboard or the Copy/Cut/Paste menu in iOS 8.

I had the same problem, then I got this solution:


Back up device + Factory reset + Restore = Copy / Paste works again.


(Beta testers are encouraged to always do a clean install after a beta period when the official release comes. Shame on me!)

Hi Diane ..


Tap Settings > Safari then tap to Clear History and Website Data


Then reset the device.


Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Then open Safari and try to copy / paste.

How do you know thts it's a secure app? Could it be sending keystrokes off to the company, ike passwords and bank card numbers?

I guess we just have to trust it. I don't know if that's checked for by Apple during the approval process.


I've noticed that the button to switch to this keyboard disappears when I'm filling in at least some password fields.
