Copy/Paste URL Apple Tv

  • Apple Tv 4K
  • tvOS 12


Hello, I noticed since I updated my Apple Tv to tvOS 12 that I can't copy and paste long URLs from my iPhone to the ATv. It seems that the ATv shrinks the url removing either the begining or the end of the url.


Does anybody else have the same issue?


Thanks!

And to further clarify, the Apple TV remote keyboard on the iPhone and iPad on iOS 12 will let you type in a URL, but if you paste one in it strips it out. Sometimes the part of typing it in remotely can still do some weird truncation, but generally it works. Pasting in a long url never works. This has nothing to do with the Apple TV applications, it all in the Apple TV remote keyboard for iOS, and it changed with iOS 12. All applications on Apple TV use a common Apple provided data entry screen. That's the screen the Apple TV is on when this happens.
