<p>As of Android 10, only the configured default input method editor (your keyboard of
|
||||||
|
choice) and the currently focused app can access the clipboard. Apps without focus
|
||||||
|
cannot access the clipboard. This is a stricter restriction than preventing apps in
|
||||||
|
the background from accessing it, since an app in the foreground or a foreground
|
||||||
|
service cannot access it, only the foreground app that's currently focused. Clipboard
|
||||||
|
managers need to be implemented by the keyboard chosen as the default by the user.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>GrapheneOS previously restricted background clipboard access as a much earlier and
|
||||||
|
slightly less strict implementation of this feature. It provided a toggle for users to
|
||||||
|
whitelist clipboard managers, which is no longer needed now that keyboards are
|
||||||
|
expected to provide it.</p>
