The clipboard is a very useful tool. It can be used for cutting and pasting, saving articles you want to read later, or taking screenshots of your screen.
The clipboard is also very easy to use on an iPhone, but it’s not always immediately obvious where it is located.
In this article, we will show you how to find the clipboard when using your iPhone so that you can take advantage of its usefulness in any situation!
Where is the clipboard on my iPhone?
On an iOS device, the “clipboard” can be found in different places depending on what you are trying to copy. If we want to use the default text copying and pasting functionality that comes with your phone or tablet, then we will need to find our way into the Notes app (or any other app that supports text).
When you are in an app and want to copy some text, simply tap and hold on to the text until a menu pops up. On this menu, select “Copy”. This will place the copied text into your clipboard, so you can paste it wherever you’d like.
To paste the text, just tap and hold where you want to paste the text and select “Paste”.
If, however, you are trying to copy a picture or link from Safari on your iPhone, there is no need to open an app. All we have to do is tap and hold on to any image or URL for about two seconds until it pops up with some options.
If we are copying an image, then all you have to do is tap the little “Copy Image” button that appears. If it’s a link, then there will be three different options: Open Link in New Tab (which opens the website), Copy Link Address (), and Cancel (). Tap whichever option suits your needs best!
How do I open the clipboard on iPhone?
If you want to copy and paste something on your iPhone but don’t know how to open the clipboard, then we have a solution for you! In order to view the contents of your clipboard, all you need to do is launch Siri by holding down the home button and saying “Hey Siri”.

Where do I find things saved to the clipboard on iPhone?
If you have copied something to your clipboard and want to find it again, don’t worry! It’s very easy to do. All we need is a web browser and the ability to search through our iPhone or iPad files.
Launch Safari on your device and go to any website. In the URL bar at the top of the screen, tap and hold on to any word.
This will start the “Select” mode, which allows you to select text in order to copy it or otherwise edit it. Once a piece of text is selected, tap “Share”, then select “Copy”.
Now go back into Safari and search for anything using the normal method (by tapping on your keyboard’s magnifying glass button). Once you’re on a page, tap and hold on to any word.
This should bring up the “Paste” option (assuming that you already copied something to your clipboard), which will place that text into your search bar! I
f not, then just paste it manually using the normal method of tapping and holding onto the piece of text, then selecting “Paste”.
Does iPhone have a clipboard history?
Unfortunately, the answer to this question is no. iOS devices do not keep track of what has been copied and pasted in the clipboard.

However, there are some workarounds for this issue that we will discuss in a future article!

How can I use Siri to paste saved text?
If you would like to copy and paste something using Siri, simply hold down on your iPhone’s virtual home button (or lock/power button if your device is locked) until a menu pops up with different options.
One of those options should be “Siri”, which you should select. Now, simply say “Copy” and then the text that you want to copy! When Siri asks you if she can paste it for you, just say yes!
This will use your device’s virtual clipboard in order to place whatever text was spoken by Siri into where ever desired on your iPhone or iPad screen.
