Apple released iOS 16 last month. Soon after updating to the latest iOS iteration, some users complained that their phones incessantly asked them for permission when they tried to paste something into an app. This was due to a security feature in iOS 16 that was designed so that any sensitive information is not mistakenly leaked. However, the feature reportedly irritated the users. Apple fixed the problem in the iOS 16.0.2 update and it seems that iOS 16.1 will bring a refined version of the feature.
iOS 16 clipboard paste permission issue
The iOS 16 clipboard paste permission feature asks users for their consent when an app tries to access the clipboard. It was designed as a security feature to make iOS 16 users aware that the content they are trying to paste might store sensitive information. However, users apparently got irritated with the repeated permission pop-up every time they tried to paste text from another app.
Reports suggested that an Apple executive acknowledged the issue and said the feature was not supposed to behave in the manner. The company released bug fixes in iOS 16.0.2 update.
What’s new in iOS 16.1
iOS 16.1 brings a refined version of the clipboard paste feature. As per Macrumors, in the new iteration, “a new ‘Paste from Other Apps’ menu appears for apps that have previously asked for permission to paste content from another app.” The menu can be accessed in the Settings app > [App Name] > Paste from Other Apps.
The menu offers three options:
Ask: This will force the app to continue requesting permission to paste content from other apps.
Deny: The app will not be allowed to paste content from other apps.
Allow: The app can paste content from other apps without asking for permission again.
This essentially gives users granular control over this security feature and makes it less irritating at the same time. iOS 16.1 is currently in beta and is expected to reach people’s iPhones later this month.
