Please can anyone help with a problem I have which I never had before, but first noticed I had the problem last night when I was posting on here. So here it is -;I use my mobile phone on here Was trying to copy and paste a link to a post dept I was doing and it didn't work. Over the years I have copy/ pasted hundreds and hundreds of links. I thought it might be a glitch. So I tried again a few minutes ago. Omg it did t work Highlight link Select press copy Go to post reply Press paste, nothing at all , zilch I must be getting old or going nuts I was doing it right, wasn't I?

@Juliaacv Yes And used Gemini. Gemini suggested the phone settings settings for copying stuff to clipboard But Gemini like me drew a blank trying to find the settings I cleared cache on browser Couldn't find the browser settings either

I am pretty sure that it's a clipboard issue. Try going to Settings System Clipboard and clear the data.

@Ineeddentures I do know you can't do a picture and a link at the same time. I have had to edit my post to add the link when I have a photo too

Yes Eva it should have worked But it didn't Nothing on clip board either even after I selected the text I wanted to use.. Might download a clipboard app, make it default and disable the system pp. I will find it

I never use my phone for internet stuff so I'm of no use to you However, if you find an answer I'd really like to learn about it, one day I might actually use my phone to do internet stuff and it would help if I knew more about it.

It sounds like it might just be a temporary glitch or something odd going on with your phone. Try copying and pasting in a Notes app or message to see if it works there. If it doesn’t, it might be a clipboard issue.

It is a clip board issue. The issue is it's gone
