Apple is too strict with copy and paste in iOS 16

I have been very pleased with the new features and improvements that have been added to the operating system. It's fun to have a custom lock screen. It hasn't gotten old to remove the background of images by holding them down. Only a few days after the new software was released, I found my biggest problem: the question of whether or not to paste an item from one app to another. Always. Repeatedly over and over again.

It needs to be a better solution than this.

The reason for the new prompt is understandable. Passwords, personal photos, two-factor passwords, and other sensitive data can be found in the clipboard of your phone. This information is more likely to be skimmed by apps than we realize. Apple asks people in plain English if they want their information to be accessible by apps. Repeatedly, ask them.

The new prompt is making things worse. It's making copy and paste more difficult. If I cut out the subject of an image in Photos, copy it, and paste it into a text, I get hit with the permission pop-up. It's happening every time. If you want to paste something into Notes, you have to do it the same way.

It is appropriate that Apple applies its rules universally, but I am not sure if it is a good idea to paste a picture into a message. It wouldn't be right. Enough has already been said. There is a hurdle in the middle of what we are talking about.

It is reasonable to prevent apps from snooping on you. It is possible for Apple to include "always allow" among the choices so that people won't have to look at this screen a lot. Adding a pasteboard to the privacy settings for each app would be similar to the way it works for location, notifications, background data, and so on. Give us a way to establish permanence for our preferences.

I wonder if the pop-up is a bug or not, because it is happening so frequently. It doesn't come up when you paste it into a chat room. I am hoping that Apple will refine this interaction sooner than later, because nothing has been changed so far in the first alphas of the new operating system.
