When is Apple going to fix copy/paste on the iPhone?

When is Apple going to fix copy/paste on the iPhone? Frequently, my iPhone stops allowing me to paste from one app to another. Both apps are set to allow copy/paste and the functionality does work more often than not. But then it suddenly stops and my only option is Autofill which does nothing. I can’t paste into the notes app either, because although the notes app allows a paste option, nothing pastes. If I power cycle the phone or close both apps and let it sit for 10 minutes or so, it sometimes resets and allows copy/paste again. Neither are great options.

You are making the assumption that because you have an issue, everyone does and copy/paste is broken. It's not for me at all. And I have 2 iPhones and 2 iPads, neither of which are having any issues with Copy Paste on iOS 26.2. Plus, asking when Apple is going to fix anything here, on a user to user only forum, which Apple neither participates nor reads for user feedback will not give you anything. Likely, Apple isn't working on


You left out some important information. What model iPhone do you own? What is the current iOS version on your iPhone?
