Where can I find the clipboard on Android?

Just like on a computer, you can also copy words and text sections to the clipboard on Android. This practical tip shows you where exactly you can find the clipboard and how to use it correctly.

Android: Save text to the clipboard

To save texts to the clipboard, proceed as follows:

• Long press on the text you want to copy. Two markings now appear to limit the text.
• Move the two markers to the desired start and end of the text.
• Finally, tap "Copy". The text is now saved in the clipboard.

Android: Paste text from the clipboard

To insert the text, hold your finger on the desired text field for a longer time and then tap on "Insert". The copied text is now pasted at the selected position.

Use and edit multiple clipboards with Android

You can usually only use a clipboard on tablets and smartphones with an Android system. If you copy another text, the previous one is deleted from the memory.

• However, this is not the case with all Android devices. Sometimes you will find a menu on the keyboard, in which several clipboard entries are saved.
• Just look for a gear or clipboard around the edges of the keyboard. On some devices you will find the option in the menu that opens when you want to copy or paste texts.
• If such a function is not available on your device, you can retrofit the feature using the app. The Clipper Plus app automatically saves all texts that you copy. This means you can access content from the clipboard even weeks later.
