What does clipboard mean and what helps us?
The clipboard is a kind of invisible storage medium, in which there are text fragments, images or files saved by the "bonding" (pasta) in another location. When we copy a text from the site by order (copy) and want to transfer it to a document (Easter), this would not be possible without a clipboard. The data present in the clipboard are usually saved in the RAM and most of the time they are not kept after the restart of the Devide.
Clipboard este prezent pe toate sistemele de operare care ofera optiunile “copy & paste”. Linux, Windows, IOS, Android, macos and others.
In short, clipboard means data from "Copy & Paste“.
How do some applications use the data saved in the clipboard
On the edge of confidentiality data stored in the clipboard There have been discussions over time. Many have accused various software companies of producing applications capable of reading the data saved on the clipboard when accessing an application.
A clear example are web browsers (Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Firefox) that when we saved a URL (web address), gives us the option of ""Paste and Go"In the address bar. Or"Paste and Search"When a text is present on Clipboard.
This would not be possible if the browser could not see what we have saved on the clipboard.
There is no panic if these data are saved in a proactive way to improve the user experience. Clipboard Notification in iOS is still a welcome measure for data security.
Clipboard notification in iOS 14 si iPadOS 14
With the launch of iOS 14 and Ipados 14, Apple introduced an banner notice system At the top of the screen, by which the user is announced that the data saved on the clipboard were "stuck" in the accessed application. In this way the user will know every time an application on the iPhone or iPad reads the clipboard of the idea. A clear example is the Facebook application, which reads the data from the clipboard only when the user wants to give "paste"To a text.
Clipboard notification in iOS – “Facebook pasted from Safari“.
However, there are applications where Clipboard Notification in iOS indicates that the application has read the data from the clipboard without our acceptance. Without us giving "pasta" to copied data.
Regarding EMAG application for iOS and iPados, I say without any restraint, that until iOS 14 this has "spied" the data in the clipboard of the users. After installing iOS 14, each time we access the eMAG application, the notification appears "eMAG pasted from…” .
As can be seen in the catch below, the application eMAG copy automatically saved data in a clipboard from a tokenization application.
In this way, token codes, passwords or other text fragments that the user did not want to "stick" in the application bar.
With version 3.0.1 of the eMAG application for iOS, this practice has been withdrawn, reading the data from the clipboard being sent to the application only when the user wants.
It was known that some advertising networks constantly spy on the user's clipboard. With iOS 14 the user will be notified of this, even if many little annoyed by it Notification that cannot be disabled.
When should we worry about the notification of "App Pasted from App"?
When you meet the pre -operated scenario in the past by eMAG. If the notification appears automatically when accessing an application Or a website, without you making "pasta" in that application.
This characteristics of iOS 14 is present with other Privacy Controls news introduced by Apple to protect the confidantity of iPhone and iPad.
