Proper copy/paste on iOS to/from other apps: support system clipboard (yes, missing – WTF!)

As of now we cannot copy/paste any content on iOS from/to other apps: the Miro app does not support the system clipboard. WTF!

As a result I recently had to waste time by manually retyping a whole lot of text content while traveling (my only mobile computer is an 2021 12.9” iPad Pro – which works great unless I want to copy anything from my notes into Miro, add a link to a board etc.).

Copy/paste works _everywhere_ else. This is not a missing feature but broken core functionality. Stop treating the Miro app as a second-class citizen – we do professional work on iPads, too!

⇒ Add full support for the system clipboard on iOS/iPadOS (as on the desktop). 

Thanks.

  • Steps to reproduce:
    • 1. Copy any content (text/image) to the system clipboard from anywhere outside Miro
    • 2. Switch to board
    • 3. Try to paste copied content directly to the board using Cmd-V (or tapping the canvas)
    • 4. Nothing happens

That’s the main reason I quit using miro when I use ipad


This is indeed a dealbreaker


Same problem.  I cannot believe this functionality doesn’t exist / work.  It is PRIMARY for a visual collaboration tool.  

 

Please prioritize this fix.  It is so basic a need as to be a waste of time to have to ask.  Sense my frustration.

There's now a paste from clipboard menu item, but it's always greyed out

This is exceedingly annoying. I use my iPad version almost half the time for work, and manually uploading screenshots to Miro takes four times as long as other direct paste apps. Hell, my barebones note taking app does this! Crazy. I hate it!
