It is a security feature. There are apps that can read the clipboard.
Imagine you copied a sensitive data like credit card number from your notes and you opened an app that reads what is copied in the clipboard. That kind of security breach is what is being prevented by this feature.
Why doesn’t apple just block the apps from always pulling clipboard? Would pasting still work in them? From my very basic understanding shouldn’t the clipboard be outside of an apps reach/sandbox anyways in case of snooping? Like the os should be able to push the clipboard when the user asks but why would you want to default allow apps to constantly pull it?
Don’t keep your credit card number in notes, or actually anywhere at all, in plain text.

Reddit gonna reddit. Whenever a comment has more than like 4 downvotes the mob just piles on without reading it.
