If you’re looking for a way to view your iPhone’s clipboard history, unfortunately, there is no built-in feature to do so. However, there are a few workarounds you can use to access your clipboard history.
- Use a Third-Party App There are several third-party apps available on the App Store that allow you to access your clipboard history. These apps can record everything you copy to the clipboard and store it for you to access later. Some popular clipboard manager apps for iPhone include Copied, Paste, and Clips.
- Use Shortcuts App You can create a shortcut in the Shortcuts app to store all of the text that you copy to the clipboard. The shortcut will automatically save everything you copy and let you view it later. Here’s how to create a clipboard history shortcut:
- Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone.
- Tap the “Create Shortcut” button.
- Tap the “Add Action” button and search for “Get Clipboard”.
- Tap the “Get Clipboard” action to add it to your shortcut.
- Tap the “Add Action” button and search for “Add to Variable”.
- Tap the “Add to Variable” action and create a new variable.
- Name the variable “Clipboard History” and set the “Type” to “Text”.
- Tap “Done” to save the variable.
- Tap the “Add Action” button and search for “Show Alert”.
- Tap the “Show Alert” action and enter the text “{{Clipboard History}}” in the “Message” field.
- Tap “Done” to save the shortcut.
Now, every time you copy something to the clipboard, run the shortcut to save it to your clipboard history. You can view your clipboard history by running the shortcut again and tapping the “OK” button on the alert.
- Use iCloud Syncing If you have iCloud syncing enabled on your iPhone and other Apple devices, you can copy and paste between them using Universal Clipboard. This feature allows you to copy text, images, and other content on one device and paste it on another. While it doesn’t provide access to your clipboard history, it allows you to easily move content between devices.
In summary, there is no built-in way to access your clipboard history on iPhone, but you can use third-party apps, create a shortcut in the Shortcuts app, or use iCloud syncing to copy and paste content between devices.
