Copy and paste issues on iOS 18.5 devices

When I try to copy and paste it can take 2 or 4 times to get a COPY to work and the paste to actually paste what I copied. It is both on my desktop and my iPhone iOS 18.5 and my iPad.

Original Title: iOS 15.5 Sequoia the copy and paste features dont work more often than they do work.

re: macOS 15.5 and iOS 18.5

I have experienced similar before..

Shut down and restart and test your results(?)

On the same AppleID you can try Sign out of your Apple Account on Mac, and then back in again and compare your results.

Yes, I have had this issue for months now and have restarted multiple times.

It is not a continuity issue. It is a problem on a singular device,

but it is a problem with all my apple devices Mac Mini, iPhone, iPad.

If this is copy & paste in general on each individual device (Mac Mini, iPhone, iPad) seems most unusual if not unheard of...

Start with the Mac—To trouble shoot further you can:

—A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.

This test will tell you if third party interference; most extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.

—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account. 

***wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries— connect the charging cable, this will make the wired keyboard successful Safe Boot your Mac.

unplug all non-essential peripherals when testing

Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus

all known to cause issues on the macOS
