If you copy something in Android 13, your phone will automatically delete the contents of the clipboard after an hour. It is a new privacy feature that also works in conjunction with Gboard.
Android 13 Clipboard
The clipboard is often the best place to store passwords and personal information and paste them into an app or website. Google introduces an important privacy function with Android 13, since many apps also have access to your phone’s clipboard. Android 13 automatically deletes the contents of your clipboard after copying, that’s what Google says in a blog post.
In that blog post, Google did not immediately disclose how long the clipboard content will remain available. 9To5Google found in the code that it takes about an hour for the data to be deleted. Furthermore, the function also works with Gboard, because your keyboard always shows the copied text from the clipboard in its word suggestions. An hour after copying, you can no longer paste the text with Gboard.
Smart Clipboard
Undoubtedly, there may be situations where this change causes frustration. That’s why you better be aware of it as an Android user. Android 13 also introduces a lot of useful improvements for the clipboard. You can edit text or images before pasting them somewhere. In this article we discuss in detail how it works.
