If you’re tired of the annoying “Allow Paste” prompt every time you try to paste text between apps, here’s a simple solution:
1. Install the SwiftKey app from the App Store.
2. After installation, go to Settings → SwiftKey.
3. Find the “Paste from other apps” option and enable it.
This will allow you to paste text without being asked for confirmation every time!

Are you certain that these third-party apps aren’t storing what you copy to the clipboard? Keep in mind that third-party keyboards have access to everything you type, including sensitive information, which is why you receive a warning when installing them. Some third-party apps may also have similar access, especially if they include features related to clipboard management, text suggestions, or cross-device syncing. It’s always a good idea to review an app’s privacy policy and permissions to ensure your data is protected.

That’s a valid concern, and I appreciate your perspective! It’s true that any third-party keyboard, including SwiftKey, can access what you type, which is why Apple warns users when installing them. However, Apple enforces strict privacy policies, and iOS prevents apps from automatically reading clipboard data without user consent—hence the ‘Allow Paste’ prompt.
SwiftKey, for example, states in its privacy policy that it does not store sensitive data like passwords. That said, it’s always a good practice to review an app’s privacy policy and permissions before using it. If privacy is a major concern, sticking to Apple’s default keyboard is the safest choice, even if it means dealing with the paste confirmation prompt.
DO NOT install third party keyboards to your device.
Apple and google need to make it clear that there are Insiders who have been directing people to install third party, sometimes vulnerabilities, to devices.
