Overwriting issue - Copying multiple items quickly
I’m using this app on an IPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18.1.1 One super irritating drawback, and deal breaker for me, is the inability to copy things quickly. Sometimes I want to copy multiple items before pasting to a document. So, after copying those items, I would, ideally, be able to access my copy history and click which items I want to paste. HOWEVER, the app always overwrites my last copied item. I can’t quite put my finger on when or how the app creates a new-copy-entry. It’s quite frustrating! So basically, allow for rapid copying to create new copy history instead of overwriting the last copied item. Hope that makes sense!

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! 🥺😆
