IOS 12 copy paste problem

I’m copying text or pictures from one app to another and either the copy isn’t working or the contents of the clipboard are getting erased because when I get to the other application (like Mail) the Paste command is missing. Sometimes I have to do it two or three times before it works. Anyone else having copy/paste problems since the update to IOS12?

It's not a UNBELIEVABLE I CAN'T WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS kinda problem I'm having but it is truly an annoyance, I copy a link or password to access a site for a research project at school and then my phone won't paste, maybe it will do it the first time to access the site but trying it twice? in succession??? it never works. Like yesterday I had timestamps for a youtube video copied, I don't want to say it was truly tasking to watch a one hour long video to find certain points for time-stamping but when you check in the morning to see that what you thought you posted didn't actually post then remember that that was the last thing you copied was the time stamps you get excited,, but NO! Your phone has the gosh darn audacity to not have the thing still copied????

My guest is that Apple wants to promo its own auto-copy two step verification code when using Safari.

It is a cool feature but not cool enough to push you to change from Chrome to Safari , so they are trying to make even harder to use chrome by not letting you copy the code in order to make that auto-copy even more attractive. If Apple idea of innovation is to make it harder to use competitors products (exp. GOOGLE Map VS PLAN ) to promote their own, they will eventually loose marketshare ....
