The clipboard on an iPhone acts as a temporary storage for your copied content, but it doesn’t offer direct user access in the way some users might prefer. Using the Shortcuts app, however, offers a convenient workaround to manage and clear your clipboard. This process ensures that any pasting will reference only fresh copies made going forward.
