How to access and use the clipboard on Android smartphones?
On Android, you can install different keyboards, although usually, the default one is Gboard, it depends on the manufacturer and the customization layer of the brand. Another keyboard we recommend is Microsoft’s SwiftKey, well known for its customization options.
If you have one of these two keyboards, then you can follow these steps:
- Open a messaging app and tap on the text input bar to bring up the keyboard.
- Now you will see different icons like GIF, stickers, translator, clipboard, etc.
- Click on the clipboard icon and access it. Here you will see your latest copies.
- When you click on a message it appears in the text input bar. It will be pasted as many times as you want, without limit.
- If you press and hold one of the messages, you will see several options that you can choose from.
The Gboard does not keep that information forever in the clipboard, but at most, it will remain there for 1 hour. Now that you know how to manage the clipboard, you just have to go into the clipboard and click on the message you want to send, instead of switching between windows and copying over and over again.
