so that if you switch from app A to app B, it can check your clipboard buffer for if you have a URL pasted into it and load that URL in the context of the app
example: if you copied twitter://foo/tweet/bar or https://twitter.com/foo/tweet/bar https://twitter.com/foo/tweet/bar, it checks your clipboard and loads that tweet instantly
at least that's what i read over on reddit about this on r/apple
- ebg13 6y agoExcept that letting apps randomly pull from the clipboard, where you might have copied passwords, bank account numbers, or any other sensitive information, is such an obviously unsafe idea that the person who suggested it should have been immediately sent to special privacy consciousness training. For what? To save one "send to app" or "paste"? At least reserve that functionality exclusively for the operating system on the grounds of "TRUST YOU? HAHAHAHAHA".
