Where is the Clipboard on iPad 10th generation and how do I retrieve copied items?

Where exactly is the Clipboard on an iPad 10th Generation? And how do you retrieve it when the only option was “copy”?

Usually I would have downloaded a photo or image to “Photo’s” or Save to Pinterest for example.

The iPad clipboard is merely a temporary location for text (or objects) that you “cut” or “copy”. When you “paste”, the last item copied to the clipboard is pasted to the chosen location.


The iOS/iPadOS clipboard is not of itself an accessible location or App - neither does it maintain any kind of history that can be reviewed or edited.


To copy to the clipboard, highlight the text passage, image or object; from the menu, select Copy.




Having copied the text or other item, you can simply “paste” to someplace else. To paste the current clipboard object, touch-and-hold with your finger to expose an action menu; from the menu, tap Paste.

I don’t understand your question and what you’re trying to do. It iPad copy and pass works. At times when I found an image in a web page and want to send it to someone but don’t want a physical copy of the image. I just copy it from the web page and paste it to where I want to put it.
