Automatic addition to iOS paste keyboard

While on the Macbook every instance of copy gets added to the Paste clipboard, on the iphone and Ipad the paste keyboard needs to be open when copying for the copy to go on the clipboard.

On the Ipad (with the magic keyboard) this is even worse, because we first need to show keyboard, then select paste keyboard, and then proceed to "load up" the clipboard.

automatic adding to the clipboard in iOS without it being selected as a keyboard would be great. :) Thanks!

    Sort of found a work around, but if it can be fixed that would be great.

    Firstly, ensure "When app becomes active" and "When keyboard becomes active" are selected in the Paste app settings.

    Then, to copy multiple seperate items QUICKLY while avoiding those items from being overwritten in your Paste clipboard, you want to copy the desired text, then open the Paste app, then go back and copy the next item, then open the paste app, and continue this process. Doing so will create a new entry each time you open the Paste app.

    Another option is, if you are able to have your keyboard open while copying, activate the Paste keyboard and copy away. Having it open will ensure you create new entry each time you copy.

    Wish it could just create new entry each time I copy without the need to have the app or keyboard open but this will do for now.

    Paste team, fix if possibllllllllllle! 🥺😆

    I would appreciate specific instructions for using paste on the ipad with a magic keyboard.
