this happens on a samsung galaxy android device. i have a foss keyboard set up and never use the samsung keyboard app.

whenever i copy text, the toast message flashes that samsung keyboard has pasted from my clipboard.

i cant find any option to control clipboard access. how does one turn this off altogether?

I don’t have a Samsung currently, but IIRC the Samsung keyboard has a clipboard organizer that lets you access and paste the last x things you put in your clipboard.

On one hand it’s nice, as you could copy some text then the link afterwards and paste everything in e.g. a Lemmy post in one go. One the other hand it means, that it can and will access every in your clipboard. As long as you use it, it’s somewhat fine - the keyboard has access to everything you typed anyway. But if you’re not using it, either check if you can disable that feature or just disable the whole app if possible

thanks. but there is no setting to disable either the feature or the keyboard. at least, not in stock.
