News & Reviews:   clipboard

In this age of the internet, privacy and security are major concerns. So when it was reported that iOS apps were caught accessing clipboard data, it's understandable that people were more than worried. Most companies have already fixed or started to fix this issue, however, with Reddit and LinkedIn the next to do so.

Last week, users of iOS 14 beta have gotten notifications alerting them that TikTok was trying to access their clipboards. Not only the doing has invaded users' privacy, but it also exists as a possibility to cause users' data being stolen by someone else. After that, TikTok has immediately submitted a new update to the App Store to fix the issue. However, it turns out that TikTok is not the only app accessing users' clipboards.

With the announcement of iOS 14 being made, many users are quite excited about the new features that are coming soon to Apple devices. Other than those features, it looks like the latest OS update has some impressive skills as well. It is reported that the iOS 14 beta has caught TikTok reading users' clipboards.
