Well, firstly, there isn&#8217;t a permission to control access to the clipboard. The NSPasteboard Class is used to access the pasteboard server in AppKit used on OS X apps, while iOS uses the UIPasteboard Class. In iOS, this class can be used to access the General pasteboard used for copy-cut-paste operations (and has existed since iOS 3.0). What this means is that any app has a means to access items in your clipboard. This itself is not as much of as a surprise compared to the likelihood that I&#8217;ve never seen this functionality used in such a creepy way before. Apparently Pocket and Chrome have similar behaviors, just not that I&#8217;ve seen.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don\u2019t want iOS checking to see if I\u2019m okay with an app having access to my keyboard when I first launch but unfortunately, evil corporations make behavior like that necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via un-excogitate: So what does this mean, and what can we do?
