iOS 16 It came with a mysterious feature for many iPhone owners. I say mysterious because as far as this madness seems to Clipboard protection is present only on certain models of iPhone or from certain regions. "Built-in app would like to paste from built-in app. Do you want to allow this?“.

When a user copies a text from an application, from a picture, a link or anything else and wishes to stick it (to give paste) In another application, each time the active message of acceptance or cancellation of the operation appears.

Do you want to allow this? Built-in app would like to paste from built-in app.

app would like to paste from built-in app
“Messages” would like to paste from “Notes”

This is not the first time Apple takes the protection of data saved by users in the clipboard. I also talked about this in 2020 when Apple introduced on iOS 14 the notification system by which users are alert from which application in which application is copied on the clipboard. This is how I learned that in some applications there was no need for "pasta". Applications read the data saved in the clipboard As soon as they were open, without the user's action.

In iOS 16, however, the problem is completely different. Applications ask for permissions each time we bring a copied text from one application to another. Including from a native application, in another native application. App would like to paste. Built-in app to built-in app. “Messages” would like to paste from “Safari”. Do you want to allow this?

When we copy, for example, an URL from Safari and we want to give them "paste” in Messages, we will be asked for each date "Do you want to allow this?" copy/paste We will be asked again. A total aberration that I honestly do not see and I hope Apple does not extend this "wonderful" characteristic and at Macos Ventura. It would even be a major problem for productivity to be asked every time whether we allow or not "Paste“.

As a protective measure, it would make sense that the data copied on the clipboard will be secured and cannot easily reach third applications. In Built-in applications (developed by Apple on iOS) I do not see their meaning at all. Why be asked if I want to give paste a text copied from Notes In a messeges convens?

At the moment I have not found any solution how this feature of iOS 16 can be disabled and I do not realize what iPhone models it appears. I have an iPhone 12 Pro with iOS 16.1 (beta), but I saw that these stressful messages also appear on the iOS 16 (public) version on iPhone models.

Let's hope Apple will do what is to be done with this feature. To eliminate it.

I've been writing passionately since 2004 about Windows and Linux operating systems, and since 2010 I've become a fan of Apple University. I'm currently writing tutorials for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, and other Apple devices.
