iOS 27 adds a one-tap paste shortcut above the iPhone keyboard
iOS 27 automatically places a paste shortcut above the keyboard after you copy text, a link or a photo. The shortcut also previews the clipboard content before insertion.
iOS 27 places a paste shortcut above the iPhone keyboard when users open a new text field after copying content. It works with copied text, links and photos.
The shortcut inserts the clipboard content with one tap, avoiding the usual copy-and-paste menu. A preview appears in the keyboard’s top row: text is shown as a snippet, while an image appears as a small thumbnail.
The feature is intended for cases where someone switches to another app or text field immediately after copying. The source describes it as a practical addition discovered while testing the iOS 27 beta over the summer.
The iOS 27 update also includes changes to Siri and Apple Intelligence, along with updates to Apple Wallet, Messages and CarPlay. The source does not provide separate technical requirements or a list of compatible iPhone models.
