> Every big app has changed this to no longer show the 'pasted from' notification.

Is that because they stopped checking your clipboard, or because they managed to check in a way that doesn't alert the user?

afaik apps can detect patterns on the pasteboard without triggering the notification (i.e. check if the URL is a TikTok URL or not), but they can't actually access the contents without triggering the notification. it's enforced by the pasteboard API on iOS.

so they probably updated their apps to perform this check before doing anything.
