Tik Tok was previously accused of accessing the user's clipboard data and they've declared that they will no longer continue to access clipboard data in the iPhones, these 53 apps and games include News and media apps like Fox News, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal, social media apps like Viber, Weibo and Zoosk and popular games like Bejeweled, Fruit Ninja and PUBG Mobile.
Nobody will except a game to access your Clipboard information and they have no business to, smartphone users copy and paste a lot of private information on their phones and computers, and sometimes both the devices are synced, this private information includes, passwords, addresses and sometimes personal chat messages and also images.
No app will ask permission to access your clipboard and it is clear that if these 53 apps are collecting your clipboard data and they include popular and credible apps, many other apps might also doing the same, this only means one thing, you have to be careful, copy/pasting are basic functions and we can't avoid doing them, but clear your clipboard whenever you copied a piece of private information.
