IOS 12 copy paste problem

I have iOS 12.1 on iPad Pro, still having copy and paste issues, works sometimes, often not. I have to transfer booking details from my email to calendar, including street address phone numbers etc, really frustrating, that I have to do it long hand instead of c&p.

Starting with iOS 12.0 the content of Clipboard gets automatically erased after under an hour. It's a bug.

Untill it's fixed, user has to continually copy/cut the content they want to save in clipboard. It's a pain.

I stopped by an Apple store and had a smart young associate help produce a very concise trouble ticket that then was send in on the store’s behalf. Hopefully that will get some coder’s attention without their having to guess how to replicate the problem.

Not a chance. Go to any website that uses Disqus as their comment engine. Touch any word as you always could. Then try dragging either blue dot handle to expand out to the corner of the text you want to copy. It immediately jumps back to one letter and stops. Other sites like typepad will sorta work, but the cursor try’s to race off the edges of the column and grab stuff in the sidebar. Totally lame.

This is still going on months later, it’s absurd! You’d think a simple copy/paste function would work, it used to. What can they have possibly done to change this? I can’t even leave my iPad for ten minutes and come back and paste within safari, from a copy made in safari!

Do us all a favour Apple and get this sorted please!

Same here....

Same here, i create events on Facebook every week, and i can’t copy text from last events i made, it’s annoying i have to do it on my pc. And this has happen before in some apps or websites. I’m using xs max btw. This should be fixed because it would save time and it’s just annoying have to switch to pc to copy long texts

I am neither able to drag and copy text nor move cursor by one tap, its seeming like touch is going insensitive for that fraction of time. And when am tapping & holding at a point, its magnifying text as usual but as soon as i start dragging my finger to select a complete sentence, its going insensitive.

Note: Its working while i was typing this message ! But in mails’ body and while searching on google etc. etc., the problem persists.

I had the same problem with links in text messages. I used to hold down my finger on it and it would copy. Now it just opens the link. I found out how to copy it though (after months of aggravation). You just press and hold while sliding your finger up and the "Copy" option appears. I'm not sure why they changed it as it made sense to press once and the link opens, and press and hold to copy it, but I"m finding that common sense and technology (nor general common sense anywhere) doesn't exist much anymore...

Even after updating to 12.0.1 this copy and paste problem STILL REMAINS!!!!

same goes for IOS 12.0.1

Same, I past text messages all the time and I can’t get it to work. Fine the first time then later on, no paste shows up. Hope they fix it. So frustra

It is working for me after the iOS 12.1 update. Thank you Apple.

You have to put your finger on the text you want to copy and hold it there for about 3 seconds. Then the option to copy will pop up with the reaction buttons.

I would suggest, if you have not already, installed iOS 12.1.

Seems to work great with iOS 12.1.
