The official version of Apple’s iOS 16 has now been pushed out, bringing new lock screen widgets, a power percentage display, and more, making it even easier to use.
However, today several foreign media outlets are complaining about Apple’s iOS 16 copy-and-paste feature, saying it’s too cumbersome and that every time you paste something from one app to another, your iPhone will pop up asking if you’re allowed to.

It’s easy to see why Apple introduced a secondary confirmation for pasting. The clipboard often contains private information, and it’s not the first time an app has messed with clipboard data, so Apple wanted to protect user privacy in this way.
However, the secondary confirmation dialog pops up every time you paste, with no one-click allow or one-click reject options, and there are no changes in the latest iOS 16.1 Beta.
