How to use the clipboard on my iPad?

On playing the popular game Wordle, I tried to share my results with a friend and when I click on the share tab, a message pops up, "Copied to Clipboard". But there is no Clipboard on my Ipad Pro and nowhere can I find where these items go. Can anyone help me?

iOS/iPadOS devices have no actual clipboard that you can directly access.

Anything that is cut or copied is put in a temporary clipbaord that is inaccessible to the user.

The “invisible” iOS/iPadOS clipboard area ONLY stores a single clipping at a time and the clipping will get replaced with something different the next time you cut/copy another piece of text or other item.


If you wish to access this invisible “clipboard” and/or access multiple clipboard items, in the future there is an iOS app in Apple's iOS App Store that can be of help/assistance/usefulness to you.


Look in the iOS App Store for


Paste


https://apps.apple.com/us/app/paste-clipboard-manager/id967805235


This is a monthly or yearly paid app.



Best of Luck to You!

when something is copied it's placed in the clipboard and when pasted it's transferred from the clipboard to where ever you are pasting to


if you want to know more Cut, copy, and paste between iPad and other devices - Apple Support
