This week, iOS 14 users also noticed that the LinkedIn app is copying and pasting from the clipboard in the background for no apparent reason, which raised some concerns.

iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 includes a new banner alert that lets users know if an app is pasting from the clipboard, which is part of a series of new privacy features Apple is adding to its operating systems this year.

You can see the LinkedIn app pasting from the clipboard content every time a key is pressed in a video shared on Twitter by user @DonCubed.

Erran Berger, VP Engineering of Consumer Products at LinkedIn, claims that “We don’t store or transmit the clipboard contents.”.

We've traced this to a code path that only does an equality check between the clipboard contents and the currently typed content in a text box.

We don't store or transmit the clipboard contents.

Once again, this reinforces that Apple is right to implement more privacy features in iOS
