I wish smartphones have clipboard access permission but they don't have, once you copy anything (it goes into the clipboard) it is a public access area - almost every app in your phone can access, read and copy the information in your clipboard. It's like anything uploaded to the internet via http, it can be accessed by anyone who wishes to have the information.

Let me make it simple - Stop copying and pasting sensitive personal information in your phone like email, passwords, credit card details, bank accounts etc.
Your phone clipboard is a public access area and any app can collect and use any data in the clipboard.

Some keyboards apps are the worst! Especially those spam keyboard apps in Tecno and Infinix, the can store your passwords as auto detect predictions too, the app security is poor and can be targeted by malwares. So make sure that your active keyboard is from a trusted source like Google Keyboard or Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard

You can use a secured password manager like Google, Lastpass, Bit warden etc Auto Fill in your sensitive personal information. They will securely fill in your emails, passwords, bank accounts, credit cards details, etc without going through the clipboard. I already made a video about that too.

It's not totally true. The clipboard is developed with bespoke Artificial Intelligence that identifies a device for sensitive information like email address.

In essence, other people can easily see or have access to every other words saved in your clipboard when you copy them like nairaland, Facebook, Technology, Kenya West, etc.

However, sensitive information like email address and bank details won't be made for public consumption. It's saved on the clipboard cache of a device where such information have been entered for a multiple times.

That's it.

Propaganda article..... Mtchwwwww! OP, stop being clever by half. Copy paste info on your phone stores as a temporary cache info, it isn't saved permanently. No app has access to your clipboard data, only your generic keyboard does, or any other keyboard app you grant access to. Outside of your phone, it is NOT a data that your phone shares with any device. So if you have copy paste paranoia then I suggest you stop using 3rd Party Keyboard apps and only use the generic Google or iOS keyboard that came with your phone. Some of you phone users are the cause of your own problems, you keep using 3rd party keyboards like Hacker keyboard etc and then you expect your info won't be stolen even when hacker keyboard clearly mentions that its keyboard app stores whatever you type. Your normal generic Google keyboard or iOS keyboard that came with your phone is totally secure. It's a stand alone keyboard with no external connect or data sharing beyond your phone. And any copy paste is temporary, it doesn't save permanently on your keyboard clipboard unless you pin the info to your clipboard. Copy Paste has been saving lives since Adam and Eve. I can't use my phone or computer without using copy paste.
