People using iOS 14 beta realize those apps including Tik Tok. Tik Tok announces that they will fix this feature in coming weeks and will update in App Store.
Spokesperson from Tik Tok said that this feature is aimed to prevent Spams and will be removed in new version. There’s no clear evidence about Android accessing clipboard.
Apps accessing clipboard are not only Tik Tok but also includes popular apps like Accuweather, AliExpress, Patreon, Call of Duty Mobile & Google News.
