Universal Copy if copy and paste is blocked on Apple iPhone 8 Plus
Let’s make a specific point on blocked copy and paste by certain applications. When using your Apple iPhone 8 Plus, you may come across a situation where you want to copy certain text from certain apps.
But due to the limitations of some apps, you may be unable to select or copy the text.
This can be really frustrating.
The Universal Copy app is a great tool to solve this problem! It is a free Apple iPhone 8 Plus clipboard enhancement tool that can break the limits of those apps.
It will allow you to easily copy unselectable texts on your phone.
By using it you can greatly improve the text copying capability of your phone and you will never have to worry about text that you cannot copy to from your Apple iPhone 8 Plus.
Universal Copy takes advantage of iOS’s built-in permissions and accessibility features to enhance your phone’s ability to copy any text, even if the app itself doesn’t allow you to select it.
There are no complicated settings, only “On” and “Off”, it’s very easy to use.
Once the application is launched, you can enter the “Global Copy” mode simply by using the notification bar.
To unlock the restrictions of apps that don’t let you copy text, just tap and hold the text you want to copy.
And, in addition to copying entire paragraphs of text, Universal Copy also allows you to copy more than one selection of a text at a time.
So just click on a few paragraphs of a text to copy them (they will be covered with a gray shadow when clicked on), then click on the Copy button, and they will all be copied! This is very useful and effective in cases where there are multiple copies to be made in the application interface.
As Universal Copy is made possible by the accessibility feature built into your Apple iPhone 8 Plus (similar to reading text on the screen), Universal Copy does not require rooting privileges and does not modify the system in any way, which makes the app very safe.
However, Universal Copy is not an OCR text recognition software, so it cannot help you copy text to images.
Instead, you can use Copy Text On Screen for OCR.

Some elements on copy and paste
Cut, copy and paste are all functions which communicate between your applications and the clipboard of the operating system of your Apple iPhone 8 Plus. You can copy and move files and parts of objects (text, images, sound, etc.). From the user’s point of view, it is these three functions that it is necessary to master:
- Cut: places the selected fragment on the clipboard and simultaneously removes it from the document.
- Copy: places a fragment in the clipboard of your Apple iPhone 8 Plus, leaving the document unchanged.
- Paste: inserts a fragment currently in the clipboard into the current document.
The second command – “copy” – is usually visually invisible: nothing happens on the screen when you trigger it on your Apple iPhone 8 Plus.
The time required for the operation depends on the size of the image or text fragment being manipulated.
To summarize on copy and paste from your Apple iPhone 8 Plus
You may often need to cut, copy and paste.
Cutting moves the source to the destination, Copy keeps the source intact, makes a copy, and moves it to the destination.
Paste will paste the cut or copied element to the destination: the source will keep the element if it’s a copy only.
