There's a new shortcut in iOS 27 I’m using every single day — here's where to find it
How to use the new one-tap paste keyboard shortcut on iPhone in iOS 27, and where it's located.
In iOS 27, Apple has introduced a convenient new feature that streamlines the process of copying and pasting on iPhones. Historically, users had to tap through multiple steps to copy and paste content, but with the updated keyboard, a dedicated paste shortcut has been added to the top row. Here's how it works: after copying text, a URL, or a photo to the clipboard, a smart suggestion appears directly above the keyboard.
This suggestion displays a preview of the copied content, allowing users to confirm what they are about to paste before confirming. This minor tweak significantly enhances daily phone use, saving time and effort when sharing tracking numbers, links, or photos. It's worth noting that this functionality seems exclusive to iPhone-to-iPhone interactions, not extending to Android devices.
Once your iPhone is updated to iOS 27, the paste suggestion feature will automatically appear whenever you copy an item and tap into a compatible text box on your iPhone.
