Why it helps

Your keyboard can keep a list of the things you copied, so you no longer lose a link or code when you copy something else. You can pin the ones you paste often.

What you'll notice

A clipboard button above the keyboard shows your recent copies, ready to paste with one tap.

When to use it

When you need something you copied earlier, then tap the clipboard icon above the keyboard.
