iOS 27 Adds a Useful New Copy-and-Paste Feature to Your iPhone

iOS 27 adds a new copy-and-paste feature to the iPhone's keyboard, enabling convenient one-tap pasting for text, photos, links, and more.

iOS 27 Paste From
For example, if you copy a link in Safari and move to the Notes app, a "paste from Safari" option with the link will automatically appear above the keyboard. Tapping on the shortcut adds the link to the note. Or if you copy a photo in the Reddit app and open the Messages app, a "paste from Reddit" option will appear above the keyboard.

Given this feature is built into the keyboard, it works across many combinations of apps, making pasting more convenient across iOS 27.

The keyboard has already surfaced one-time verification codes since iOS 12.

iOS 27 is currently available in developer beta, with a public beta to follow in July. The update is expected to be released to all users with an iPhone 11 or newer in September, and this small yet useful feature will likely be popular.

Just add a copy-paste button within the entire grey space at the bottom... Don’t make it too sensitive, to avoid accidental clicks when swiping up, but do utilize this whole empty space for those who wants it, it’s not that complicated...

How about a whole new keyboard that works as well as Gboard on Android??

I have a Pixel 10 Pro XL at work for testing. The keyboard is SOOOO much better than an iPhone keyboard. Slightly bigger keys, number row, awesome tactile feedback, a down carrot to pull down the keyboard at anytime, dragging across they spacebar to move the cursor in ANY app.

It makes the the iPhone keyboard looks so bad.
