I assume Google accesses the clipboard to see if there's an address in there and search for it. Whether that's a good use case or not is up for debate. Persona

Personally I was surprised to learn that apps could read directly from the clipboard at all. I would've thought that was purely managed by the system and not given to the app until actually pasted.
- monkpit 6y agoWhy not just have granular “clipboard” permission that could be granted or denied per-app? Personally, I like the ease-of-use I get out of google maps grabbing addresses from my clipboard. Not everyone would like it though, and that is ok. They could decline the permission request. But I don’t want other random apps being able to grab that info without permission.
